Amici:
Interesting. I never ran a rear sway bar on my TR3 (but I do have traction
bars).
John Harkness had one on his TR3A for years. Then one day he took it off.
After racing the car without, I think he may have thrown it away. He said the
car was a shade loose without it, but he liked it much better (more
predictable). You could count on what it was going to do. His lap times
improved.
I have heard others say similar.
