Paul,
Truth be told, I don't have much experience in CB 'Bs, so
I can't really compare the two. My suspension also has
some other changes besides the Hopkinson kit. On the sway
bar side, the only change I've made to that kit is I use
harder front bushes. I can (wet or dry, obviously easier
in the wet) kick the tail out if I want, but it feels
very progressive and straightening the car requires little
more than a flick of the wrist.
But then this brings up an interesting question: my RB 'B
is currently a NB 'B (no bumpers), so I wonder if the lower
polar moment of inertia could be a consideration in this?
