[Roadsters] OT: Parts Report on British American Tranfer and FocusParts

[robert k. smith]

hi all, about the rear sway bar: they do keep the roadster flater in
the turns, but you need a limited slip rear end to keep(inside)
wheel spin to a minimun. also, you should use a little smaller rear
bar than the front. better balance. i tried to autcross with a rear
bar and open rear end, and, on tight turns, i just spun the rear wheel like
crazy.  bob> From: gsglasgow at comcast.net> To: nqrithfordatsun at msn.com;
