  I added a rear sway bar to my TR6 MANY years ago. I upgraded the front =
bar at=20

the same time.  I was autocrossing the car quite a bit at the time and =
found that=20

the change in sway bars made the car go from understeer to oversteer =
which I=20

much preferred =C2=96 I find it easier to correct a skid than to have =
nothing happen=20

when you turn the wheel.  And, as they say, =C2=93Understeer scares the =
driver,

oversteer scares the passenger=C2=94.   =20
