I like it stiff. I have the Stillen bar on the stiffest setting and my coilovers are at 10, with 0 being the stiffest, 20 being similar to the stock shocks and 32 being the softest. I tried the coil overs at 8, but I was just too choppy for street use and started to "skitter" around over expansion joints and whatnot.

I tell you about the coil overs because the Stillen bar on the stiffest setting may not work well with your shocks. You just have to try it out and see if it feels better or worse to you.

I'll be installing the Hotchkis sway bars on the stock suspension this weekend. I'll try the full stiff setting first and let you know how it is.
