Default to those H-Sport (hard) fans out there...

...I just got mine installed this morning. Indy says to try them first at soft as he's seen some incidences where hard driving on the hard setting can snap the plastic link in back. Any thoughts?

Default this will happen only if the indy installs it wrong....

125,000 miles so far.. all on hard.

Many indy's, garages, DIY's have installed the rears wrong; with the link on the wrong side of the h-port. This can either pull the bushing out (simple fix) or break the endlink. Not as simple a fix, plus part $.
