[olgreydog7]

it's nice. You're gonna end up costing me alot of money though. All your talk about cornering like a Porsche. Man, that would be awesome.

great article. But yeah, you make me wanna spend a lot of $$ lol.

p.s might want to double check, but the link for AC427Cobra’s Complete IRS Bushing Package does not work. Really interested to find out what it is.

looks good but I dont think Id tell people there is no one who makes a sway replacement, least give them a link or two to decide for themselves

Sway bars are an afterthought when the suspension is set up correctly. Tune with the spring rate then follow and fine tune with the sway bar(s). Just adding more rigid swaybars is not the answer.
As my race car sits now (600/400) I need to remove the stock GT front swaybar and find a 99+ manual V6 swaybar to replace it with. Doing so will help reduce understeer and make for better turn in response.

Didnt Eibach make IRS swaybars?

Great update, I'm glad I did alot these items a few weeks ago, and I'm loving the way the car handles!

Exactly!

Yes they do but the diameter is 35mm for the front and 29mm in the rear Vs. the stock 28mm front and 26mm rear bars. That is an increadibly thick bar and would actualy hinder the performance of the suspension rather than help it.

The Eibach sway bars do not degarde performance if they are used for their intended aplication. I installed the eibach sway bars on my cobra to compliment the pro kit springs and bilstien hd shocks and struts that were already on the car and I am very happy with the results. I would recomend this set up to any one who does not to go with a coil over set up.
