Bruce,

The L7 does not have a rear sway bar. I don't believe US-spec E23s ever had them.

Wet traction is really bad, and dry traction is marginal at best.

Not sure if I have the LSD..will confirm.

Hope your car is looking beautiful after all your hard work on the door panels!

Regards,

Hans


Hans,

I am surprised as my e23 seems firmly planted. Does the L7 have a rear swaybar? Are you speaking of wet or dry roads? Do you have the LSD?

I agree with Jens as to playing with tire pressure. V or Z tires won't make a difference as that rating is tied to speed, not traction.

Bruce H
