'Adjustable rear bar allows suspension to be finely tuned for balanced handling'

What are the pros or cons to just having this on the rear since I have RWD??

IIRC, upgrading the rear sway bar helps with front turn in by decreasing understeer.

I know this is a late reply but I have the Hotchkis on my IS350 and I think they are great. I also have their lowering springs but I think they make the cars handleing unpredictable. I did have issues with trying to get the rear bar on the softer setting. I'm not saying it can't be done but the night I tired to do it on the lift it was taking too long so I just gave up. Maybe once I get my car back I will change it to the softer setting. I'm running Hotchkis sways with the rear on the hardest setting, F-sport shocks, Hotchkis lowering springs on Volk VRG10s with Michelin PS2 225/40 F 255/35 R. I don't like the instability of my car at high speeds. I think it may be the Hotchkis springs and I may end up chaning them out for F-Sport or HR. The jury is still out on that one.
