re: sway bar, personally I've never found them necessary on a speedster or a spyder and in 3000+ cars out there (Speedster/Spyder combined), there may be sway bars on a half dozen...  Now, if I was pushing the car to 10/10ths regularly I may feel differently... but I do drive very spiritedly and never thought "damn I need one".

I think we may just have to agree to disagree on this particular point, my friend.

I drove my original Spyder with crappy Aldan rear coilovers and COFAP front shocks. It was OK to cruise around in. Through many, many changes over the years I arrived at my current setup: Koni front shocks(full soft at #1 of 5 clicks), custom front anti-sway bar, rear QA1 coilovers set at 10 clicks out of 18, and anti-positve camber straps. This thing handles the best it possibly can. The last item to improve is the Sportrac tires that will be going on soon.

1.5 degrees negative camber front, 3.5 degrees in the rear. 1/16" toe-in front and rear. 23 psi front, 27 rear.

The only way to make it better than it is now would be all-new IRS suspension front and rear and rack and pinion steering. I really should have let you drive it a couple weeks ago in Carlisle...
