Default ST adjustable rear sway bar question

There are 3 holes to set the endlinks at, but I don't know which one does what? I need to know which direction softens or stiffens the bar.

Thanks

Further in is stiffer, further out is softer.

This is a picture of the passenger side.

Move the bottom of the end link down to the next hole on the silver bracket, and it will stiffen the rear end (rotates easier).
Move the top of the end link further right (or towards the rear of the car)... it will stiffen the rear end.
Move the top of the end link further left (or towards the front of the car)... it will loosen the rear end.

sorry it's dirty... signs of a suspension that is used

comes with the ST swaybar kit... i believe it only works with 89-91s...

You have to hack off the welded nut on the shock...

It fits on a 88, a guy in my auto-x club did it.

I don't know exatcly how, but it must not be that difficult, plan a trip to home depot or something.

For those of you that race your CRX in Autocross or Road Race, do you run a front sway bar at all? I've ran with and without the front bar but I get a bit too much oversteer without the front bar. My springs are #400F, #450 rear.

You might want to ask in the competition forum about that...(this forum's discussions usually center on drag racing)

But with my front swaybar connected and the S/T rear bar on I get a significant amount of oversteer. Some people have been very successful with running no front bar.
