Default Comptech rear sway/tie bar Q????

I'm in the process of purchasing this product.
What is the best setting for the sway bar?
Hard/Medium/Soft

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the harder the setting, then the more understeer I will recieve. Right or wrong.

Go with medium unless you have strong enough springs to counter the squirrely-ness...

And the harder the setting, the less understeer you will experience

I have Neuspeed sports installed, do you still recommend the setting to be medium or hard.

putting the rear bar on the harder setting will do the opposite, actually. I have no personal experience with that bar, so my standard advice applies: mess with it until you're happy. :thumbup:
