Default sway bar???

does anybody know what the bolts on the rear sway bar need to be torqued to, or does it even matter? also does the suspension need to be under load when it is installed or should it be on jack stands?

cool, what do you think about it? did it make any difference? my car understeers like a champ so i'm hoping this will cure that and maybe i will see a little oversteer. which of the two holes did you end up using?

BTW just a general question.

i see a lot of people change their sway bars. i noticed that the 1st set of sway bars they change are the rear.

is there a method to this madness? also i see that 19mm is the most commonly bought. what are the driving chars of the 19mm vs 23mm vs stock. the sway bars appear to be pretty cheap so im kinda interested.

i think most people do the rear sway because its a lot easier than the front... im probably wrong though
