I agree, with one slight reservation, that I'll come to later.
My TR-3 has a Salisbury limited slip, while my TR-4 has a
Detroit locker. I had installed a rear bar on the 3, and
after a close encounter with a street sign, I decided to
remove it. The 4 had Addco front and rear bars on it when
I bought it, and had the most horrendous oversteer that
you can imagine. It now has both front and rear bars, but
they are of a custom design, and the front bar is *really*
massive to offset the rear bar. However, this is for auto-X
use where transient response is more important than steady
state cornering.
