I think the general agreement is as you've stated. Mine has anti-roll bar (XR2
donor), but I've never tried it without. Anti-roll bar on rear should decrease
understeer, anti roll bar on front increases oversteer - again of course that's
simplified. I know when I changed the front MGB GT springs on my Calvy Mitchel
to softer, (also longer free length) springs it increased roll, this made it
much more driveable and decreased understeer as well - it was a huge
improvement. It has no anti - roll bars, but that simple spring change is an
example of what changes can emerge. One Calvy Mitchel owner put a huge diameter
(about 25mm IIRC) on the front of his (and none on the rear) - I suspect it
went straight on at corners!

I aint no expert , however , an anti-roll bar should make the rear work
together from what I have researched , so I would have thought having one is
better than not , particularly with front wheel drive cars (like the XR2 +
Quantum) they are supposed to reduce understeer , allegedly.
Do you have one fitted ?

'improving' their cars fit fatter and fatter anti-roll bars, and it could be
argued almost end up with a solid axle vehicle :-)

Subject: [Quantum Owners] XR2 rear anti-roll bar WANTED.
As title, anyone got a complete spare one lying about a garage ?
My 2+2 doesn't have one fitted and I wonder if I am missing out on a bit
of suspension stability. Strange that in build manual it states 'If fitting an
anti-roll bar', how many are without , surely they do a job on the car.
Comments please.
Calum.
