    I've been runniing my 1976 TR6 on the street (and in occasional
autocrosses) for a number of years with a rear sway bar and an up-
graded front sway bar.  Upon installation, the handling characteristics
went from mild understeer to mild oversteer (*).  I'd rather have to cor-
rect a skid than plow headlong into an object.

(*) I think it was Phil Barnes who once explained the difference as
"Understeer scares the driver, oversteer scares the passenger"
