Definitely add a front anti-sway bar only. 5/8" minimum. I have a 7/8" on my
TR3 and it works great. The springs and shocks will affect the ride comfort,
not the bar. I think Addco can supply a bar if you don't find one through the
main British suppliers. I think TR3 bars are harder to come by than the TR4.
TR4 will work but it's wider to fit the wider TR4 frame. If you can find one
for the TR3 specifically, that would be the one to get. Addco will make one for
you to your specs for a very reasonable price. There are a couple companies
from the UK that might make one to fit just the TR3, but the price with
shipping can be an issue.

Subject: [TR] TR3 Sway bar
As I now have the TR3B to the "Chassis Complete" stage and am waiting on the
body shop I am thinking of other things I can do. I have determined that an
anti-sway bar might be a good upgrade at reasonable cost, but I have never
shopped for nor installed one before.
What is the List consensus on sway bars? Front vs Rear, should I do both?
Who are the Good/Better/Best equipment providers? I don't go racing but am
a fairly spirited country roads driver.
Many thanks,
Bill
