Adjustable ARB settings

Managed to pick up a set of Hotchkiss anti-roll bars at the right price and found the following info on their rates in lbs/in

Anyone have any idea what the OE rates are on the M2C?
Just trying to establish a reasonable starting position before fine tuning...

It depends on what you are tuning for. My car is track focused and I run the H&R front ARB in the stiffest setting to minimize body roll.

Thanks.

Yes , the car will be track focused use.
I've set up ARBs in the past and play with data logging to refine the setup.
I found with my E92M3, front bar setting was critical in maximizing inside rear grip on corner exit.

I was just curious how much stiffer the H&Rs are than stock.
I'll likely just go with a mid-range setup initially and go from there...

Not sure about the actual stiffness, but it was about 8mm larger in diameter than stock. Mine is paired with the M Sport Suspension and Dinan Monoballs and the car is great for track use and behaves quite nicely on the street as well.
