Rear anti roll
Discussion
The rear anti roll bar is missing from my cerb. Think that the prev owner took it off as this helps on track days ie stops wheels lifting and helps get power down. Anyone else got this mod? Wondering whether I should try and track down the parts and get refitted (as track days arent my priority).
hmm the age old debate .. with / without bar. thing is it's different for car to car and driver to driver. Danny l-t's cerbie on the earlier NTX revalved Nitron dampers still has the rear bar, with an uprated adjustable front bar, I seriously doubt his car would be any better with the rear bar removed purely because the set up was designed with keeping the bar in the first place cos I know how he drives. If you're on std suspension then you'll have a car at the rear that's too high / too hard in bump relative to the front giving that unnerving oversteery track day balance with a rear bar fitted... but makes them so entertaining on the road. But before you go adding bars or changing anything decide if you're unhappy with the car as it is, as Peter says. What people don't realise is that TVR don't get it right all the time (!) and very much build down to a price rather than up to a quality - and depending on driving style you may have a car that suits you well enough as it is.Try driving another car back to back on the same road and decide if your car could do with improving - I'll sell you a suspension kit if you like, but you really need to know what the improvements could be with your particular driving style / car set up / majority of use / etc before deciding which direction to take. Please call me if you'd like to discuss options further (including the option of leaving your car as it is).

True, but if you can afford it, put the better shocks (Joolz or whomever) on, you will not regret it even at pottering speeds.
I had mine disconnected on a Cerb6 with uprated shocks and a TuscanRR front bar (ie stiffer than the crap std Sp6) and the car was transformed. The difference removing the rear was marginal on the 6 (as again its a thin piece of poo) but presented a more "gradual understeering as standardat low speeds" type car, but that was terrific generally and much more controlled as a vehicle.
...but I'm not going to get into 'that' mail exchange again Joolz.

Mine was modified by Martin Short some time after James Hall had his Cerbera converted.
You need slicks on a circuit to realise the potential of this modification. Roundabouts at road speeds were fine with the original set up.
BTW this month's EVO describes the new Tuscan R suspension. Twice the normal spring rates and no rear anti roll bar - sounds a bit familiar to those with Shorty's conversion. They go on to say it is the most stable TVR at high speed they have encountered.
