how do u set the front and rear sway bars,???
front, push it up or down and tighten the screws , and how tight do you tighten those screws should the sway bars be able to rotate or not, and what does that cam do?
rear, move the mounts in and out, what do its adjustments do?
Front: if you put the blades flat i'ts the softest setting, The more you rotate them from flat to vertical the more stiff it gets.
Screws should be totally tight so the blades don't move from were you set them. The cam is to compensate one side from the other so the lower arms are leveled one against the other to were you set your droop.
Rear: move upper mounts in = more stiff. Move them out = more soft.
In general sway bars are to compensate weight transfer of car in turns. In straight line they don't work. This allows to use a softer spring on bumpy and low traction tracks and have the needed stiffness of suspension on turns. On the other hand if you have to much traction, the stiffer you set them prevents traction rolling.
