Re: Rear roll bar for 1600 GTV



Eric
sorry I missed the original part of this thread.  May be I'm *the other
person*.  I must admit that a great deal of oversteer is originated at the
driver's brain, that is, less than ideal driving technique.  My rear (2000
GTV with W&D springs and rear sway bar) is definitely stiff, but driven the
way it should be driven, the car doesn't oversteer that bad.  I still agree
with what Eric said.  Mine needs to get much lower also.  The street W&D
springs are rather *tall* even without any spacers or rubber cups.

Colin,
Before going too far with which brand of roll bar you want, what are you
going to use it for?  And how modified is the suspension....
For stock geometry (trunion arm), with W&D springs, my car is nicely neutral
with a stock sway bar.  One other person on this digest that has virtually
the identical car to me (and you- ours are a 2000 GTV) has the same basic
suspension except for a stiffer rear bar, and he has problems with
oversteer.>>
