It doesn't matter what brand of bar is used,just need to make sure that once your ride heights/corner weights are set with one end link removed that when you hook it back up its adjusted to install easily.If you have to force the bar in either direction to get the link back in place the bar is preloading and mucking up all your hard work.Comment

Ideally, you want the length of the end links to be set so that the end-links and arms of the bar are perpendicular (looking from the side of the car) under static conditions. This is a neutral position as far as force vectors go, so you'll have equal action in both directions.
And for which hole to use:
The closer to the end of the arm (further away from the bar rotation axis), the lower the effective spring rate is of the bar and the 'softer' the bar is, allowing more body lean and impacting understeer/oversteer balance of the car.
Generally soften the front bar to reduce steady-state understeer, stiffen to reduce oversteer.
Start with the middle hole on both sides and get used to what it feels like. Then change to softest, then to stiffest. Run what gives best times and tire temps.Ben
