[s-cars] rear anti-sway bar for UrS4/6

[mlp qwest]

Ray - my guess is you are right.  If Ken really wants to tighten up his rear
end, what he may need is a rear bar or x-tower brace to fit between the tops
of the rear shocks similar to the front strut tower brace (in some, but
perhaps not all) UrS4/6's.  I think this may have been a fairly frequently
discussed, if not applied modification (?) to the earlier 5000 type body
cars, yes/no?  I don't know if anyone has tried something similar on the
UrS4/6's, or given the newer bodies alleged "stiffer" chassis design &
construction.

A rear inner trunk bar may exact too big a penalty to the golf club
compartment, however.
Is there anyone on the list who has tried tying the tops of the rear shock
towers together in some fashion?

~As for rear swaybar, there are two kits out there - installing the stock
~rear bar (17mm) off of an early '92 or S6Avant, or the "happersized" 26mm
~rear bar.  Joe Pizzimenti recently installed the happersized rear bar, and
~swears by it.  Not saying much, actually, because every other word out of
~his mouth is a swear.  Not to mention that he also managed to
~swipe the only
~remaining bracket kit from Mike Pedersen, so the rest of us who secretly
~procured Hap's bar must wait for additional brackets to be made.  Something
~tells me there exists a concert of action between the coastal mafia's.
