I have only heard that these could be used. Could you describe what they
are how they work, are installed.

Mostly, I want to make the car safe in normal agressive hill driving. I
don't do auto-x or any type of racing. Everything on the car is stock and
I would like to keep that look. Maintainability is not that important. I
can get under the car once a month and tweek. This car is not in constant
use so maintance is not a real issue. What I am looking for here is the
alternatives available to calm the erratic behavior of the rear-end.
