Vance,
No rear sway bar. The front has had one for 10 years now but never got
around to the rear. And the way I drive.....under/over steer isn't a
problem.....Big Wuss here!

Bob:
I am coming to the conversation late, but I don't see a handling
advantage to either orientation. I do think however that configuring it so
that the links are vertical will reduce the stress on various mechanical
components so that they are less likely to crack.
BTW: did you add a rear sway bar? If not, all you have done is make
the car understeer more. Adding a rear bar is to be preferred over adding a
thicker front bar (assuming the rear bar is not too big). The car will
handle much better than simply upgrading the front bar with no rear bar.
Cheers,
Vance

I took a top down drive in 27 degree temperatures to test my new sway bar
end links and brackets. Other then some strange looks, the car ran and
handled just fine.
With some help and advice from fellow Listers Bob Lang and Art Lipp I was
able to resolve my sway bar issues by buying Energy Suspension End Links and
fabricating some custom brackets. I just updated my site
(http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/SwayBar.htm) with lots of pictures but have
one last question. I can have the links pretty straight up and down OR
angled outward just by flipping my bracket over. The last picture here
(http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/ELMounted.htm) will show the difference.
Any
opinions on which way provides better handling?
Bob........hitting 60 on Sunday!
