I agree completely. I installed both a front and a rear (Amco) sway bar on
my TR-3A and found that the car oversteered badly. I removed the rear bar
and got much better handling. Incidentally, my TR-4 had what appeared to
be Amco front and rear bars on it when I bought it, and also oversteered
badly. "Proper" sway bars (those who've looked under my TR-4 will know
what I'm talking about) have transformed that car completely.
