I have a hellwig adj rear bar. For drag racing at a track would it be best for it to be on the stiffest setting? Or does it not matter that much since I'm not making a a whole lot of power?

I will be getting at cam soon which should put my car somewhere around 360rwhp and 350rwtq I'm guessing.

As stiff as possible. On my drag car with a 4-link I run 1.25" and .25" wall thickness and a 5" long arm.

Thanks. I have the stock 4-link tri angulated rear suspension with aftermarket adj arms and will be getting lca relocation brackets on it in a couple of weeks. Right now I have the sway bar on the loosest setting for driving around.

I use to disco mine unless I was running infinion....turns 7-8 & 8a are way to fun to not exceed the return road speed limit.

The firmest setting will help the car launch flatter. It might not make a huge difference on a modest horsepower car but every little bit helps! Mark SC&C

Thanks Marcus, that's the answer I was looking for. Wasn't sure since its not a drag car with lots of power. I bought the hellwig bar from you btw. I love how its adjustable.
