    leafsprings...and they are saggy

    you know, i've been reading a bit about the math on swaybars lately, but i have no idea, nor can find any remarks on putting in a swaybar, where there was none before...

    i know these parts are quite tricky as to oversteer/ understeer behaviour of the car...
    I just want lesser bodyroll, so it sticks better to the pavement, but then again, i like to keep it lowrider-style, cause it suits the car! (a bit of both worlds, so to speak, just don't know if it is possible to have a stiffer ride and still keep the height adjustability??)

    Going sideways through a bend isn't considered normal or even sane, so that's the way I like it!
