Bill...

The installation of the front bar takes out
some of the natural tendency of the car
to "oversteer".

It is this oversteer which gives the Spridget it's "tossability" (quick
change of
direction) at lower speeds. The roll bar
moves this "tossability" into a higher speed range, as it gives greater
"stability"
at lower (town?) speeds.

By varying the front/rear tire pressure bias, you can bring back some of
the oversteer at lower speeds if you wish,
(while still retaining good stability)
by bringing the front pressure to that which you normally carry in the
rear.

Fun, isn't it??! :):)
