Default Need Pfadt Inverted Shock Adjustment and Swaybar Setting Advice

Hey all, I just installed Pfadt Jerry O'connell sways and Pfadt inverted shocks.

The rear swaybar has three positions for the endlinks. Any suggestions where I should install them? Outer, inner, or middle?

Also, what is a good daily driver shock setting and what is a good HPDE shock initial setting? I understand that adjustments will be made depending on the track, tires, whether it's oversteering/ understeering but I'd like to start out close rather than far.

Thanks!

Middle hole for the rear bar is most popular.

I have the old pfadt inverted shocks that have 16 or 18 clicks iirc and the o'connell sway bars. I set the shocks at 10 and 12 up to 12 and 16. Swaybar is best to start at outside (full soft) and then middle if you want stiffer rear. Start at 10/12 and outer setting. 2 cents.

So you put both front and rear to 12? Or do front 12 and rear 10? Also, do I go all the way in then for full stiff then adjust outward for full soft? Or other way around.

The pfadt website is still there, and the install instructions are still there.

Thank you. I wasn't aware of that I'll check it out. I thought that maybe the site was being minimalized in some way

The lower settings are for the front and are softer. 1 is full soft. Iirc clockwise is stiffer. Remember mine are the old version so I don't know if types are the same .
