1)Which is more important for the gt....A) front anti sway bar or B) the back(if a person had to choose only one for his birthday)

2)Rally Bob:how is it possible that the OGTS bars are better?Do you mean they are better for racing..i Believe the diameters were
very close in size.I have also heard that kadette bars will fit..are there any availible sources?

3)were any Gts shipped to the US with sway bars?..if even a few were shipped..i am told they could then be added on to an existing Gt and be
scca classified as a stock car.W/o this verification of shipment..then the addition of sway bars changes the gt to an upper bracket.

4) people i have met at the scca ..say this is the most important upgrade that is needed on the gt..they say it is a night and day change in handling.

5)I have heard of removal of the front leaf springs and replacing with coil over the shock..is this a good idea?
