When I got my PV, I was pleasantly surprised that it handled better (more responsive steering) than the several Amazons I had owned. Lighter car, yes, but I attribute it mostly to the PV's front-end. As JohnMc says, the parts are available. It would be the last thing I would change about the car. If you are ambitious enough to upgrade in the engine compartment, you would get the most benefit from that if you put in an M41 (with OD) and swap the 4.56 rear-end for a 4.1 out of a B18 544 . Check out VClassics on this subject. And, yes, definitely, IPD sway bars make you grin with every turn in the road..
