And this would put the car around neutral? or a good starting point? According to the Steeda specs, these settings would put the front at 42% stiffer than stock PP, and the rear at 93% stiffer than stock PP. Is that correct?

At the softest setting front to rear, you would have a slight push.

Just trying to understand what is happening from a handling/engineering standpoint.

Softest front, middle rear on sway bar settings gave a pretty large amount of oversteer with my current suspension mods. Gonna try softest softest and see how that feels.

Do you have the stock wheels? Your settings are what Steeda recommended with the PP staggered setup. I have the same setup questions you do.

As a point of reference, my FR sways, with a really stiff front, are biased so far to understeer the fronts are skipping in a hard turn. Looking for something a lot more neutral when I install the Steedas.

Yes, I have a PP with stock wheels and stock Pirelli tires. Only 5k on the car, so tires are still new. My car oversteers with current mods, which can be seen in my signature.

I just raised the car and changed the settings. I am now on softest front, and softest rear. According to Steeda, even the softest setting on the rear is 53 or 54% stiffer than stock PP sway bar. I'm gonna try and dial this thing in lol

Chris, you may find you need to readjust again when you get new tires. Those stock summer only Pirellis were junk. I know this doesn't change F/R bias but I struggled to get traction with those tires since they were new. Of course I picked up my car late March so I wasn't going to get good traction then, I kept thinking when it got warm, the tires would do well, they never did. I replaced them with Conti DWS 06 AS in November and got better traction with them then then I did with the Pirellis all summer. At about 5k, I noticed them starting to get louder. By 11k they were completely shot. It's very difficult to replace tires with so few miles but something you might want to consider. This year I'm switching to a summer only set and a winter set.
