As far as the front goes, it is def stiffer, and love the front. As far as the rear goes, it is set on soft setting, because I will never be tracking the car, its driven maybe 2-3 times a week for a casual drive. But the rear feels like its losing control sometimes. The best example I can give is when driving over a sewer cap cover, where theres maybe .5 inch of a difference in the road, the rear end feels like its about to give out on me, like a fishtail. And i actually am starting to hate it.

Does anyone else have this problem with their Stillen sway? Any info would be helpful. thanks.
I have my rear set at the middle setting. Nothing like what you're experiencing though. BUT, I do have bigger wheels and tires. My ride is a great improvement over the stock sways. Almost zero body roll.

Maybe your tires (larger sidewall flex) "could" be the issue (?).

Just a thought.

EDIT: Maybe you should try and avoid "sewer cap covers".
