These sway bars were a popular upgrade in the early nineties.
They are sold as a kit of front and rear and are designed to only be
used together. I believe the front is just a slightly thicker than
stock bar. The rear is quite a different design with much shorter
arms than the factory bar. It mounts to the underside of the trunk
floor and attaches with a drop-link to the lower spring mount. =20
Practical Classics "MGB Uprating & Bodyshell Rebuild"
(available from British Car's bookshop) has a feature on them. Many
mags gave them great reviews because they really do transform the feel
of B's. A test in the June '91 issue of Classic and Sportscar was not
so flattering, however. The reason for this is said that the bars
mask the transition from understeer to oversteer resulting in less
control when pushed to the limit. If you drive at 9/10ths then these
are not the way to go. If you drive enthusiastically but not right on
the edge they will provide considerably flatter cornering and improved
steering response.
