Yes, but honestly, don't install it

How did you get 3 holes in the rear bar? Mine only has 2 per side.

Did I get cheated out of a hole?

I have Hotchkiss front and rear sways on my roadster. I have it set to the stiffest setting. I started with medium, but it felt too wiggly in the rear. Now it feels great.

It is purely personal taste, driving style and what you expect to get from your Z. I set mine in the middle and I've been very happy with it. Tail happy? Maybe some just gas it too much through a turn. Like I said, depends on your driving style. Try all three and see which one works.

When you drive at 7/10's. The rear Hotchkis bar is ok. But once you start to push past that. You'll feel the rear wanting to break loose.

Yes the farthest hole is the soft setting.

What is the reason for just using the oem bar instead of the aftermarket hotchkis? Is this recommendation only for hotchkis or with whitelines too?
