Staggered setting on a Stillen rear swaybar?
 
Can I run a staggered setting on the Stillen adjustable rear swaybar? What I mean is one end link in the front hole and the other end link in the rear hole. The rear bar says it's adjustable for 37-70% stiffer than stock. So the staggered setting should give me a 54% stiffer setting, right? Is there any reason this would be unsafe or inadvisable to do? The car still pushes the front end with the front and rear Stillen sways installed with the back on the softer setting, but I sure don't want it too stiff or tail happy either. Would a better solution be to just put the stock front bar back on?

you can but you'll probably need to get adjustable endlinks.

i use a similar setup on my G35C's stillen swaybars where im using powergrid endlinks. you need to set it up so there is no load on the bar when you get the lengths correct.

Yes, absolutely. The 2 holes create 3-way adjustability. The bar is being stressed torsionally, so staggering the holes is a setting in between.
