I haven't put oneon my TR6 but I did put a rear K-Mac on a 2.5 PI I had.
The rear bar helped the handling immensely and probably steadied
indiscriminate movement of the IRS.  However, under some cornering
conditions it would lift the inside wheel.

Hi list,

Does anyone out there have any real-life EXPERIENCE with the benefits (or
otherwise) of rear anti-sway bars? I have heard that they can reduce the
heavy understeer characteristic of the TR6, but am concerned that it may
make the car tail-happy and unpredictable.

My TR6 is basically stock, with only the following changes:
        Suspension lowered about 1" all round
        Increased spring rate at rear (front standard)
        Konis on front, lever-arms on rear
        Yokohama 205/65 A-509 radials

Any feedback or suggestions welcomed.
