Gonna install my sway bar this weekend I’ve been debating the settings quite a bit. I’m on the type s module because my track is super bumpy. So I’m leading towards 5/6 stiffness. But others say 4/6 is where u should start. Also if I were to change the setting does that mean u need a new alignment?

What is 5/6 and 4/6? There are 3 positions/holes on each end. Setting options would be 1/1, 1/2, 2/2, 2/3, and 3/3. These are the setting options listed in the installation instructions - I would assume they do not recommend 1/3.

I saw people referring to 2/2 as 4/6 and 2/3 as 5/6 so I assumed that’s how u said lol.

Start with the softest setting and go from there, some people actually find rear sway bars for the FL5 too aggressive and end up going back to stock.

I didn’t know that. In that case I’m thinking 2/2 is a reasonable setting. It can always be increased or decreased. Do u need an alignment if you adjust it later on?
