My car is running without traction bars or a panhard rod. Both of those
devices seem to be fixes for the soft OEM springs. I have Dale's rear
springs installed and they are great. I have no issues doing a burnout
(other than not enough HP for a good long one) and having any wheel-hop. I
have not encountered any wheel-hop with his springs yet. Once I have much
more HP with a different engine, that may change. For a Tiger with a 260,
HEHE transmission, 3.07 rear gears and a limited slip unit....the springs
are perfect.

Subject: [Tigers] Speaking of Panhard Bars...
Are there any other cars that use leaf springs like our cars and a
panhard bar? The use of a panhard bar in our case is just counter
intuitive to me. The leaf springs keep the rear end located and that
would seem to make the panhard bar redundant. Yeah, I know about wheel
hop, but a panhard bar or any other kind of lateral location linkage is
to keep the rear centered. If I put coil overs on the rear of my car,
then, yeah, a locating bar would be needed, as well as some trailing
linkage for fore and aft movement.
So why did they install it? Did the Alpine have one? .
