Thanks for the info, but don't you mean the Hellwig front bar is 1.41 times (not %) stiffer than the stock bar?

I installed both front and rear bars in my driveway. The rear takes a bit more work than the front did.

I use the loose setting for daily driving but I also have supersprings installed.

Thanks! Does everyone else use the softest position too?

I have the Hellwig rear also and used the middle setting. Perfect! Combined with the HBS leveling kit in the front the ride is a bit stiffer but not too much. I'd rather have the handling over the sloppy ride.

The rear sway bar kicks so much ***. I would get one for mine, but my exhaust wont let me.

Anyway someone with the rear sway bar added can post a picture? I have a custom exhaust and would like to see how it mounts. Thanks
