Hmmm .. yes, I have an Addco front swaybar.
I think I've got some fairly stiff urethane links in there too, so there
shouldn't be much soft rubber compression to take up.
(I could be confusing my cars though)
Drifting into an 18ft turning circle would have saved a couple of seconds on
this course I just ran.
At the end of it they had a single pylon that you had to do a 360 around it.
As you got back to your starting point, you drove another 40 feet forward
and that was the finish line.
The idea was to keep people's speeds down at the finish since almost
everyone there was a relative amature / rookie.
Anyway. . . a couple of rear wheel drive guys tried to drift around the
maypole pylon.
Problem was .. most of them missed it and had to stop and re-adjust.
IF they had continued their drift they would have just smacked the pylon
with their passenger door.
So this manouver was a make or break type of thing.
I didn't see anyone "make" it.

Do
you have one?

There's nothing more fun to drive on an autocross in a TR4 with just a rear
bar. It will make that 32 ft turning circle into an 18 ft circle.
Is it fast? Well...
