Rear stabilizer

[Bernie Benz]

Beg to differ, Claus,

If, as you declare, "the 200 chassis is so flexible, that it should not have
a rear stabilizer", adding anti roll torque in the rear should/would make no
difference, inasmuch as chassis deflection would follow the front restricted
body roll anyway and there could/would be no rear wheel lift, with or
without.  Such is not the case.  Rear anti roll torque can only improve the
car's understeer tendicies, which is why IMO it was added in small doses
both the '92 S4 and the V8.  The S4 rear anti roll system has been added to
the 200 chassis, with posted mod descriotion and positive results.

Go for it, Eyvind and post your results.
