    I recently brough the hellwig rear sway bar, there are 3 settings on the bar "farthest away is the softest and closest to the bar is stiffer". I brought the bar for handling and better turning, I usually just drive on the highway. Any recommendation for which setting I should have it at?

    You want it stiff but test to see if you can handle it.

    How much will you be towing? If you're maxing out, go with the most stiff setting...otherwise I'd stick with medium. I don't own one but this is merely a speculative assumption.

    I have mine set on the middle setting, it feels good enough that I haven’t tried any of the other positions.

    If you have aftermarket shocks you may be better off on a lower setting but you can always reconfigure since its adjustable.

    Try it out at all three settings then stay with the setting you like best.

    Just bit the bullet on this sway bar. Which setting did you go with? How do you like it?
