Wanted to share my experience with this recently installed RATCO product.
My TR6 for all it's good lookingness and soundingness was really quite a handling dog. Brisk acceleration was accompanied by torque steer especially noticeable when shifting. A sharp dip in the road would cause a noticeable change in direction.
Cornering required constant correction to mitigate understeer. 4 wheel alignment did not improve things.
I first tried wider wheels and tires (7'). Ok somewhat helpful. Next, I replaced the front sway bar with the GoodeParts (7/8") unit. Nice looking and I would recommend it but it didn't change the handling in any noticeable way.
Decided to visit Carlisle this year looking for a rear sway bar that I could look at, discuss and touch.
There I encountered Tony Vigliotti with whom most of us are familiar as the man behind RATCO.
He had, on site, a rear sway bar and shock in coil setup. I bought the kit which included shocks, links, sway bar (3/4") and all necessary hardware for installation.
What a difference in handling! Set your line in a corner and the TR stays there (now with slight oversteer). Accelerate, go off throttle and shift, torque steer mostly gone.
A welcome change worth the time and money. I'm a believer.
Now if I could just make it stop leaking oil.
