 Earlier there was a discussion on rear sway bars. While Mine isn't the type
most people have as it's Revington's over the diff one, but the principles are
the same as the others. My setup is Good's lower springs, Spax Front and  AVO
adjustable rear coil over shocks, with Good's front bar and Revington's rear.
While driving it around the rear end had a strange unnerving twitchiness about
it. Hard to explain but felt like a young lady trying to get my attention w/
her back side, it had that much wiggle too it. Really unnerving in the curves
at higher speeds as it felt like it was going bounce right off the road. The
rear bar  and shock rebound were stiffened up  and now it feels much more sure
footed.
  Unfortunately driving on public roads doesn't give me a chance to feel how
the car handles when pushed. Hate to wind up in a ditch.  A little under steer
is what I'd like to have, but tweaking it on public roads is questionable to
me. Any tuning tricks for the road racers??
 It would be so fun to go through a slalom course, but sure would hate to hit
any cones and scuff up the paint. One bad thing about doing a frame off
restoration, guess I need two TR6's set up this way. HUMMMM....

If anyone is interested there is one picture of the rear bar at the link
below.
