I've just installed mine over the weekend. You go from soft and dial up from there if required. Even at softest setting your new sways will be +% stiffer compared to the std bar.

On my NA6 I have it on medium as I can't put it on the softest or else it will rub against the shocks.

I also have Tein SS and using stock rear bar and atm I find it quite nice. It's a very neutral setup, with a hint of oversteer. Yet to give it a try on the track.

Edit: I realise you have a NB8, so I guess softest setting would be a good start as NB8's tend to be less taily compared to NA6's.

5/10? Is that the setting your Tein's are set to front/rear away from hardest?
