Drilling an extra hole in a sway bar end to give a softer setting

Crazy talk? Looks like there is room on the flat part before the bar resumes the tubular part.

[Edit: Now I understand that if I were to drill a hole like I describe it would yield a harder setting...]



I removed this and replaced with an Eibach adjustable 22 mm tubular bar with three holes on each end, but was looking at this one (19 mm) now that it is removed.

Seems like a 22mm bar would be more stiff then the OEM 19 mm bar, it was quite a bit heavier? I don't know the wall thickness so don't know how to compute stiffness.

Does anyone know how the 22mm Eibach will compare to the 19mm M030 S rear bar. The middle setting on the eibach lines up with the holes on the OEM bar.



I figure having some adjustment capability may be good to help me get dialed in.
