<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I ran with both front and rear bars from
ADDCO on my 59 TR3A for many years. On the street, I felt that the rear
bar did help a little bit. Not as much as the front bar, but some.
I had also taken some steps to get more effect from the front and less from the
rear, like using hard nylon bushings up front and leaving the rubber bushings a
bit loose in the rear. Some changes in tire pressure helped too (sorry,
don’t recall where I was on tire pressure but that will depend on what
tires & wheels you are running anyway). I was actually looking to get
a stiffer bar up front (Richard Goode said he could bend one for me) when the
car got wrecked.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

better without the rear bar.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>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!).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

available, one vendor is selling a 4 spring "high performance" kit
that also lowers ride height about an inch. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
