<VV> Sway Bars

[Dennis & Debbie PLEAU]

I love my 65 with a rear bar.  With about a 10 lb pressure differential it is really neutral in all instances. With a 10 lb differential it drives really close to my 66 with no differential or a differential of only a few lbs.  You don't want to drive the car with the bar with equal tire pressure on the road.  It will keep your attention big time.

  Brent just posted info regarding the tire pressure
  debate and handling characteristics of the rear engine
  car. The desireable rear body lean and un-desirable
  front body lean explains why the LM are not equipped
  with a rear sway bar and a smallish one in front. I
  just checked and ADDCO has rear sway-bars, 3/4 inchers
  I think, but nothing for the front. Wouldn't this
  heavy bar in the rear and light stocker in froms give
  you a twitchy rear end? :-)

  Any experience out there or should I check out the
  auto-cross forum? I've put sway bars on all my water
  pumpers and loved the results and wanted to do the
  same on my Corvair but can't locate a heavier front
  bar.

  Cheers!
