The 4-speed manual trans is probably 1/3 the weight of the automatic and it is shorter so the trans weight is more forward. It now sits like 4X4 AMC.

I looked at the front and there is room, (IMO), for a bar in front of the control arms. The mounts would have to be bolted through the tubular frame, and space the bar down some. To connect the bar to the lower control arm, I can see putting a longer bolt in the strut rod bolt and using it to hold the sway bar busing on the bottom of the arm, or when I make new spring pads, have a provision for the bar designed into them.

The bar ends would have to extend out to the control arm at the same angle as the strut rod so the tire will be able to turn to its lock without contacting it.

The bar will have to be designed and made for this application without question. I have never done a duel sway bar application before. I am wondering how much "new bar" is needed to tighten the front up?

T Walgamuth, sounds like you have a fun car. I have driven my customers 240D at three different tracks, and every time people are surprised how well it does. It could definitely benefit from stiffer bars both front and back. Changing the springs and lowering it turned it into a totally different car.

I took my 300D on a coarse and it really challenged my driving skills. I have raced from dirt track to open wheel cars, and dragsters. It took everything I had to keep any kind of reasonable time, and I ate a few cones during the process. After that I was nerves driving it home
