Message text written by INTERNET:pethier@isd.net >The worst thing the car did sans bar was spin the inside rear tire. The front bar cured that pretty well. A rear bar would bring back that problem and would also knock you out of Stock class for both VTR and SCCA autocross rules.< The reason the TR4 (and the TR2-3 for that matter) spin the inside wheel on turns is because the axle runs over the frame and when the car leans enough the frame contacts the axle and lifts the wheel. Adding a front sway bar reduces lean and eliminates the problem. Adding a rear bar will not restore the problem since the axle/frame contact has been elminated but will add some dandy oversteer (or reduce the understeer) for a more fullfilling experience. At least it did on my TR4. Dave |
