[V8] track F/R and fun stuff.....:-)

The spring rates of the 92 was softer and lower than the spring rates of  the 
93>.  I believe the rear bar was deleted from the S4 sedan because  it didn't 
help.  I believe it was left in the C4q wagons thru the  production because 
of the extra weight of the rear end, and it matched the  larger front swaybar 
found on the wagons.
 
I was brought out to CO to evaluate a full coil over 5ktq with that rear  bar 
installed.  I indicated that for better handling, it should be deleted  from 
the setup.  IMO/E it caused reduced rear wheel travel, causing wheel  lift 
under hard cornering.  Guy didn't want to hear that, because it cost  him a 
fortune to put in the car.  Sorrry?

Related  to my apparently scoffed-at opinion that these cars need a rear
sway bar,  does anyone have any evidence as to why the rear bar was
dropped from the  urS-cars post '92?   Safety or performance?  Both?
