sorry to barge in un announced!!

nose weight is an issue, but i'll agree with JJ, bodyroll plays a big part in how precise these cars (well most anyway according to the Jag i used to have) steer and take corners! bodyroll tends to over exagirate the motion momentum!

Corrected: yeah - I meant at the rear...

JJ75 - I agree - D1 (his Demo car # 1 with the CF hood and trunk and the long shifter), is brlliant - headed back again next month - gotta go and get my fix!

JJ75, Are you seriously are asking me if I have done the calculations to prove that at 32mm bar won't fit through a 31mm hole? Excuse me while I fire up the Univac to figure that out.

I don't have the exact measurements in front of me, but I am certain that the big front bar from RS racing is as large as it can be and still fit through the forward jacking point, at least on U.S. spec Milanos.

Handling is highly subjective so I tend to stay out of those discussions. However in this case I will chime in and say that I find handling with the RSR kit on a Milano to be very nuetral with driver input easily able to swing it toward oversteer or understeer.

Hey John, how much more are the adjustable shocks than his normal shocks?

Greg, I misunderstood what you called jacking points.Easy modifications to make the hollow-bar fit. Offcourse the swaybar mounts should be reinforced, but thats a modification required even with 28mm solid bar.

Adjustable shocks set = 1795 Euro for the 4 corners (versus 1295 Euro for the non-adjustable shocks set of 4 corners...)

Thanks, that's just what I was looking for!

JJ75, got it, thanks.

Looks like Ron is headed States-side again in December! We'll probably make it down south to Jes' as well...

Not to distract from the V-6 discussion, but here's an example of a lightweight swaybar on my '76 Spider. It is hollow, with splined ends and aluminum lever arms. Purchased from Orion Motor sports (Jack Beck). Current price $650.00

Thanks for the picture! The problem I think is that a hollow bar would need larger than 30mm for the stock sway bar bracket. Nothing a little junkyard shopping and some work woudln't solve, but a hastle none the less.

Here is mine. New bar mounts are easy to fit. No more skills than welding reinforcements for stock mounts.
