Re: [FOT] Sway Bars

Somewhere in my home files I have a dissertation on Z-bars for Spits and the 
conclusion (as I recall) was that they were inappropriate for Spits and are 
only effective on FV's because they do something all wrong.  It may have been a 
roll center issue but I surely don't remember.  I'll try to find it if you're 
really interested.  Steve
We experimented with Z-Bars back in the 60's but quit when we determined
that the SCCA had declared that they were illegal on Spits.  I suspect that
they do work but we never got as far as actually testing them.
