My Tarett sway bar came last friday, but I was not home, so I had to wait all weekend until sometime today to get it. This is killing me. Speaking of killing me... My car has 180# springs and NO swaybars on it. Took it for a drive, and on a slow simple stop and go corner, the back end swung around on me and I almost did a 180. I controlled it just fine, but talk about unstable.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) not gunna drive it til i get sway bar. I would like to not drive it til I get 21 or 22mm torsoins on there, but that aint happening.

OK. See the slide adjustment piece in the pic below ?? As you move it towards the bar you are stiffening the effective rate of the bar. AS you move it towards the front of the car you are softening the effective rate of the bar. It has nothing to do with the drop links. I disconnect a drop link to adjust the bar where I want. I then... adjust the drop link so there is NO pre-load on the bar. You can feel when this happens (while spinning the drop link shaft in your fingers) You will feel it start to get "difficult" to turn. This means you are now putting the bar into bind or pre-load. Back it up a little. Until it turns easily.
