Nice! That's what most people say even on lowest setting. What do you notice right off the bat?
The first thing is obviously the cornering. But since I put spacers, sometimes the rough road could feel bumpy sideways in a way. That got corrected as well.
In a couple of weeks I will try the hardest setting. But I've read from other vendors that it wouldn't be recommended if I leave the stock suspension and tires... Has Anyone heard that as well?

Interesting feedback, thank you. I haven't heard that but I've also never upgraded sways or gotten close to it yet.

I know that if you increase your roll stiffness on a corner you increase the weight transfer to that tire and you can cause the car to actually loose grip. So you can “out suspension” your tires. This can be done with either stiff springs and/or stiff anti-sway bars. Likewise, you can put extra grippy tires on a car and gain so much grip that you increase body roll and unsettle the chassis. Basically it’s a juggling act. But. For most it’s a non issue due to not pushing the car to the limits. Most people are after a “feel”. And that’s completely subjective. Where as on the flip side, a “fast” car is objective. Many people have added suspension components to a car and then went back to the track to find that they increased their lap times. (The wrong direction).
