Question Steeda ajustable front sway bar

I'm installing a steeda ajustable front sway bar. It has 3 holes to mount the end link to. Can someone tell me how the various mounting options affect handling? Understeer/oversteer, balance front to back during cornering etc.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The shorter you make the bar the stiffer it is. Stiffer front bar=more understeer which the Mustang doesn't need. A stiffer front bar should really be balanced with a stiffer rear bar. If you were to install just one bar it would be preferable to add an adjustable rear bar in conjunction with the stock front bar to dial out some of the understeer, although the current generation Mustang has less of a problem with understeer than previous ones.
