Philip -
I love it! Being an autocrosser, I don't have a navigator to scare. I tend
to scare the organizers of the event when they see me sliding sideways towards
their timing lights at the finish line.
I found that when I upgraded the front anti-sway bar and added a rear
anti-sway bar to my TR6, I went from severe understeer to mild oversteer. I
like it a LOT better this way - I'd MUCH rather try to control a spin then push
straight through a corner.
