>I'm ready to tackle adding a sway bar to improve cornering.  I asked Ken
Gilanders his opinion.  He said,  "The front ones work bur most are too
small.
Addco makes some that are not bad in the street."

What does "too small" mean, and anybody know who supplies the Addco brand
swaybar?

Too small must mean the current bar (which has a diameter of zero).  Adding
anything is an improvement. I guess it all depends on how you plan to use
the car.  Many years ago I added front and rear sway bars to my TR4 and
they were great.  Flattened out the cornering quite remarkably.  Fine for
street and the occasional autocross.  For serious racing you want something
more adjsutable.

Last I heard Addco was no longer selling direct and you had to go through a
dealer.  I bought mine direct but that was in 1984.
