Adjusting sway bar

Sorry, I have a very dumb question.

I'm about to put on my Progress 22mm Sway bar. (Its -8 celsius here so I'm not exactly thrilled.)

I've been searching for the past hour trying to find the answer to my very easy question. My bar has 2 adjustments. On on the end of the bar, and one closer to the center. (One toward the front, one toward the back of the MINI.)

Which one is the softer setting?

Sorry, I searched, but could not find the answer anywhere!!! :impatient

The softer setting is the one that gives you less leverage. The holes should be at the ends of the bar, so using the holes furthest from the bend are the softest setting. Again, the softer setting is the one the gives you less leverage.

Hope this helps!

The hole further out / closer to the end is the softer setting.
