I'm also told that the Good Parts TR sway bars are very high quality and 
purpose-built specifically for their application in a TR.  That will 
probably be the ones I end up going with because I'm not going to do the 
coil-over shock conversion required by Revington to use their rear sway 
bar.   I'm going to try running with Apple's rebuilt uprated lever shocks 
with the stiffer valves and Good Parts springs.   If the lever shocks 
still aren't giving me the control that I think I need after a thorough 
test period, then I'll consider tube shock conversion for the rear.

> Neil's kits are really well-made and are easy to fit as he's put a lot 
of
thought into them. I have his front antiroll bar kit on my TR4 and, 
although
it'd be possible to source the parts and do it yourself, there's no real
incentive as they're priced OK and there's someone to moan to if it all 
goes
pear-shaped

Sure, now you tell me.  I had to buy an ADDCO.  It's OK, but I have to
believe that one purpose-built by a TR guy would be better.

When I had a Spridget, I had underpinnings from The Winner's Circle.
Light-years ahead of ADDCO.  I was hoping for something like that for the
TR4, but nobody knew of such when I was asking.
