Rear Sway Bar settings

Just to clarify the Holes on the Rear Sway Bar. Obviously the middle hole is medium setting. If I was to look at the car as the sway bar is installed the very most back hole towards the back of the car is the softest or hardest setting? Any help is much appreciated

That rear hole would be the softest setting as there is more leverage on the sway bar.

Less twist in the torque tube portion for a given angle of roll. So I would say less twist...but the hole is correct and you helped the OP.
