I would imagine it is stiffer, as my Yaris is 4 Dr. Sedan which has much more weight in the aft end and I did not like the stiffer setting. I would think it would be even more aggressive with hatchbacks. The nice feature for me was it is adjustable by choosing the forward or aft hole.
Even after reading all the comments I would still choose the Whiteline, but I had the advantage of improving the center bushings “U” bolts.
With all due respect to "allyart" comment not being a racing product, I am somewhat puzzled as, after all it is only a swaybar. If the one wheel hits the bump the other wheel is forced to go up as well. If the bar is too stiff you will end up with undesirable condition which I had experienced with stiffer setting. With Whiteline I had the choice to adjust it to my liking and know that I am at my limit.
Since Whiteline is a 22 mm bar I believe it is likely stiffer due to the center bushings configuration. I would have a hard time to think that one would want to have Whiteline bar set on stiff setting in the hatchback car, unless the road is super smooth and driver is in the manic mode.
By the way if the picture on Micro Image website is any indication, the bar is set in it’s softer setting (the end hole)

Cheers to all,
