I agree with Daniel in that, with your currently way too stiff rear springs,
you do NOT want to add a rear anti-roll bar.
That's the nice thing about anti-roll bars though. You can decrease spring
stiffness to the point of an acceptable ride for everyday driving; but, IF
that ends up being too soft for hard cornering you can regain some roll-
stiffness via an appropriately sized anti-roll bar without making a major
sacrifice in ride stiffness. (Spridgets should use a rather small diameter
anti-roll bar ('swaybar') in the rear, IF you use one at all.)
