[TR] TR4A springs

[Rye Livingston]

I'm in the process of installing a sway bar on the front of my TR3A.  I believe Moss has a rear sway bar available.  I was told don't bother with the one on the back.  Even the guys racing TR3s in vintage don't run them.  Waste of  money.  

With that said, it will be interesting to hear what others say.  Again, I've been told that.  I don't know first hand at all.  I just want my car not to lean so much when hard cornering and was told a front sway bar is the way to go.

Go with stock dprings, make sure shocks and bushings are in good order as well, it will both ride and handle well, if you want it to feel sportier fit a front rear swaybar kit from addco, corners flatter which helps the rear suspension and axles have an easier job, without much sacrifice in ride.

If you're looking for comfort, avoid the performance kit. One of the factors that affects ride is spring length. A longer spring has more "travel" in it, thus soaking-up more energy when the car goes over a bump or dip. Also, performance / competition springs are stiffer. The result is a ride that is even more ox-cart like than stock (if that's even possible!).

Is anyone using these springs? Also, there is a big difference in price for front and rear pairs of stock type springs from different vendors. Would greatly appreciate any comments, recommendations, etc. from anyone with experience with new springs. BTW, I'm looking for the best ride, am not competing.
