mazdaspeed/awr 19mm sway bar help

I installed the 19mm sway bars from mazdaspeed (awr ones). First I had to drill out the holes to let the endlinks fit, but I have a question.
Why are there 2 holes on each side for endlinks??
Which one are you using? I put the links on the furthest to the end, but the endlinks sure look like they are strained there. Just not sure I should use the other holes as it may not give enough.

The 2 holes are there to adjust the bar's stiffness. The hole closest to the end is the "soft" position (which increases understeer or decreases oversteer).

Which setting are you using? ok, then on the "stiff" setting that I have, it sure seems like a lot of strain on those poor endlinks. The ball joints sure seem strained at large angles.

I don't have an AWR swaybar. I only wish I did.

I just know enough about swaybars to tell you what the holes are for.

Mazdaspeed Sway Bar

Hey,

If you want there is a really awesome place that made my rear swaybar and sent me adjustable *heim-joint* endlinks.
This swaybar has 3 holes at the end for adjustability.

webpage is :

You need to email them for info.

Take Care,

Jim

I've got the 19mm sway bar in also w/ the stock endlinks. I have mine attached to the last hole, there was no way it would fit on the nearest hole. I agree w/ you about the endlinks looking like they are being strained, however I've had them on for 1 1/2 months, daily driven and 1 auto-x and they are fine. I probably will upgrade to the AWR adjustable endlinks later when I get more funds.
