Rob,
I put one on my '59 Sprite. It made the ride just a bit rougher than normal
but I expected that. I fitted one of the performance ADDCO 5/8" bars in
rear, and a 3/4" up front. It made that car feel like it was holding the
road better, and made it easier to take corners at high speeds. I took it
'round a city corners at about 35 MPH+! The back end slid a bit, but the
car was flat on the turn. One hell of an improvement over stock. If you
can handle the ride difference when one is used, I say use one. I will also
say here in Oklahoma the roads stink. They are bumpy and hard on any car.
I noticed that in some instances it seemed that my car would almost go
airborne off a good hard bump in the road. Keep this in mind. I hope I
helped.

Has anyone ever fitted one? Has anyone found one advantageous? I've got
one that fits but am curious as to whether it is worth trying it as I will
have to change the U-bolts. Any advice/comments would be welcome!
