Default whiteline 22mm adj. R.arb setting?

now i know it is probably down to individual driving style, but "generally" what do most of you use? just wondering wether the majority find any particular setting to be best, thanks in advance. Lee ps, just the rear, no front arb. uprated bushes though.

Mine is on the middle setting.

I have not had it on the car long so have not experimented with other settings but handles well where it is.

ive got mine on middle setting on my classic. i noticed a difference but not as much as i was hoping for. was warned about the top setting giving too much oversteer but might give it a try anyway. i need to take droplinks off and grease em up cos there creaking a bit so il try it when i get round to doing that, been meaning to do it for a few months now though..

KojaK has a WRX and runs his on the middle setting.
I have an STI and run it on the hardest.

He finds that the stiffest setting makes his WRX a bit drift-spec.
I find mine is planted on the road, but just eases into oversteer on track, where you push the car much harder.

I have the 24mm on a Blob WRX, set on middle setting which is the same stiffness as the 22mm on stiffest setting. If you are a smooth driver, its fine...a tad twitchy in the damp sometimes. Bob

thanks for the replies guys, got it all sorted today and after careful consideration from the valuable responses i went with the hardest setting, partly from what was said , but also due to the fact i had initially ordered the 24mm bar but was phoned back after ordering to be told there was no 24mm in stock and the wait would be another 2-3 weeks. all i can say is WOW, what a diffrence. coming up the motorway slip road and around a rather large roundabout near my house is a totally new experience and the "sure footed" grip is soooo much better! money well spent. very happy.

As said 22mm adj arb on stiffest setting is equivalent to 24mm arb, i'd only use the stiffest setting in conjunction with uprated front arb, have you had a geometry set up yet? i had it done at powerstation, i'd highly recomend it
