For Autox whats the best setup for front and rear.. to get Hard Or Soft?

Set both up for the middle setting. Then get out there and if you feel the car understeering harden up the rear bar and if you feel it oversteering then soften up the rear bar.

I don't believe they are adjustable? I believe they sell a softer than stock or stiffer. I suppose the above answer is still valid, what do you feel it needs? Does it lean too much or does it push?

I didn't realize they weren't adjustable. Alright then go to an AutoX first and determine which way you want to go. I find that tuning rear sway bars is the way to go, but it is also a personal preference as to how much you like the rear to rotate. I prefer a little more towards understeer so I can have more confidence in not losing the rear end.

Correct, the Cusco swaybars are not adjustable. Cusco sells a 16mm front / 14 mm rear configuration for off-road/rally applications where a skinner swaybar will be much more beneficial where the road surfaces are very uneven. For tarmac, Cusco has a 20mm front / 16 mm rear configuration which is a lot thicker than stock which will provide rigidity and increased handling.

So the 16mm and 20mm is hollow while the 20mm and 16mm combo is solid.

Are you doing just one (stock class) or a pair? Are you only considering Cusco?
