The antirollbar from Eibach has two slots/holes to select from when connecting to the stabilizer link.

If you connect to the inner slot, the bar gets stiffer.If you connect to the outer slot, the bar gets softer.Softening the front ARB gives you more oversteer. Hardening it gives you more understeer.Softening the rear ARB gives you more understeer. Hardening it gives you more oversteer.Since I was getting fed up of my rear bouncing around, esp on the yellow speed strips, I softened the rear arb by moving from the inner slot to the outer slot.The ride has improved, the rear is now more pliant instead of hopping, and try as I could, I am still unable to throw out my rear.So, in conclusion, if you use the inner hole, the bar will be hard, and the rear will hop around, but if you use the outer hole, the bar will be soft, and the rear will settle down and grip really hard. This principle applies elsewhere too, but that's another thread...
