Which hole will make the sway bar stiffer? The one circled in blue or the one circled in yellow. I thought I knew but I've heard other people tell me different. Just making sure, because I want my car as stiff as possible.

The yellow one. The shorter the bar height, the stiffer it will be.

You should also consider putting on some aftermarket end links. They are adjustable so that you can compensate for the different angles you create by adjusting the bar height.

It may have felt better with the blue hole. If either the back or front has less roll than the other, it might make the car feel funny.

I am dying for the front end bracing to arrive for my car, since the back half is really stiff, and it gives it an odd feeling. I also have a lot of oversteer because of this.

When the *** end breaks loose in everyday driving, because the *** is as stiff as granite, and the front is still soft like bread dough, yeah, it can be a little sucky.

I guess I really underestimated the bracing components. I did not think the reinforcements would be so noticeable. I may have to work on that stuff when I'm done with power add-ons.
