Oh, yeah...

You'll find a 3/4" front bar will really put
you into understeer with the stock tyre
pressure differential. It REALLY
"stabilizes"! "Plow" you right off the
road in the wet!! :)

Got one on my street machine. I simply
varied the tire pressure differential to
get back to more "neutral" territory. Sorta
makes me wonder what a 7/8"s would
do. :)

Also, the Speedwell Panhard rod (or
similiar from one of the other usual
suspects) really ties the rear end down
on the quarter elliptic set-up. Keeps it
nice and tight. Don't even bother with
something like the Mini-Mania single rod set-up. Not for the serious
autocrosser
or even the serious street machine.

You're gonna have a lot of fun with this..
these cars handle so well in "tight" work.

Just got back from a top-down drive from
Sunday brunch...these cars are such a
blast to drive!! :)
