Question about "Tail Taming"?

I have upgraded sways to Hotchkis sport sways. I am running them with the rear set to the middle hole which is 45% stiffer than stock. The tail is a little loose and wild under powered turns and curves. I want to confirm that I need to tune it to the outer hole which is the lightest setting at only 15% stiffer than stock to tame the tail a bit.

FYI I also run the Koni FSD shocks now.

I presume you have an '08 C6. What suspension did this come with?

The further out you get the end link the softer the bar will become. The softer the bar the more traction.

Thanks Randy. I just wanted to be sure. I got the basics at a high level but once it comes to tweaking I want to make sure I have some input and confirmation.

I will move the bar/end link to the outer position tomorrow and see if the tail settles down.
