Has anyone tried it?
I believe the rear roll bar of the 156 GTA is around 3mm greater diameter than standard and will therefore make the back end of a standard 156 stiffer. This supposedly reduces the tendancy for the V6 version to understeer and makes it a little more 'chuckable'.

I heard of one guy who did this mod and found it made the cornering of the V6 better. Has anyone else tried it though, I'm just trying to get some subjective opinion before trying it out. The rear roll bar is fairly easy to fit by the look of it so I may give it a go.
