Putting sway bars on. What stiffness for front/back?

I was thinking stiff in the front and medium stiffness in the back but I would like to get people opinions/knowledge about it.

I set my Eibachs at their lowest setting front and rear. My car rides stiffer and corners much better than stock but doesn't beat me to death with this configuration.

You're saying lowest stiffness setting for both front and back? Why?

Used the softest settings for a starting point. I liked the ride and handling so I left them alone. I wanted a semi-firm ride without being so hard that it rattled my teeth. That's what I got on the softest/lowest settings.

I’d start of with Medium (Middle) on the Front and Soft on the Rear (Position closest to End of the Bar)
This is a good starting point if you are RWD

If you have a AWD, Your settings will depend if your car tends to Understeer or Oversteer

Understeer = Stiffen the Rear
Oversteer = Stiffen the Front
