I suggest that anyone thinking about suspensions mods first read Alan
Stainforths excellent book Competition Car Suspension and also run the
math's on the front and rear suspensions. The Short answer is that you want
to make the front of the type 44's "Stand Up" Adding rear roll stiffness is
only going to overload the front more. (Weight is transferred cross chassis)
