Rick,
For me, the Panhard bar makes the handling much more predictable. The
oversteer comes on gradually and you can feel it coming. Before I
installed it, the body would move sideways with respect to the axle,
loading up the suspension in this direction. When the tires lost
traction, the axle would snap back to the center and traction was lost
abruptly.
Do you two drive you cars on the street? How are those stiff springs on
real roads?
