Sorry, but you don't need it. You're just adding weight with a feature that your car comes factory equiped with.
If I were you I'd take it off and get a refund.

I hate to be the one to break this to you but....
The bar you are showing in your picture has no effect on your handling. You are thinking of a Anti-Roll Bar or Anti Sway bar; those go under the car.
And based on your question about settings for them and that you bought them to go with your new H&R Springs makes everyone think you are talking about the Anti-Roll Bars.
The picture you show is a upper strut bar and your car already has one. What you added is just for looks and added weight.

Just purchased Front and Rear Sway/Strut Bars to go with my new H&R Springs. Any recommendations to how these should be set up or what "setting" I should have them on? Never installed these before and will probably get to it sometime next week after my springs are installed.
I guess my main question is how tight should the front bar be installed? It looks like there are a few adjustments on the front bar but not sure if the rear one has any adjustments...just what I have seen from the pictures, maybe they both adjust, I don't know. Both are made by H&R I believe.
Thanks!

They are Eibach racing sway bars.
If you go with new sway bars you have to find a good compromise between springs/shocks/sway bars/ allingment.
I think first thing is to be sure what you want of your 911, and then try to achieve the correct set up. It's dificult t find good balance but there are some options to choose. Every advise is a subjective opinions and not all of us have the same perception.
