    I read your post about the sway bar set up which was helpful. It looks like you have really researched the handling possibilities for these cars. My question is….I have the 15 inch rims on the car with the BFG’s the car came with (Superformance). I have had the car on the track many times and at this point the tires appear to have maybe “burned”. They tires are hard as stones and the car is just very scary and unpredictable at speed. I am not going back on the track or even an auto cross until I have made some changes.
    Do you think there is a decent tire I can get for a 15 inch rim or should I just bite the bullet and get some 17’s? What 15 inch tire would you recommend?
    The car spends most of the time on the street but I go to the tract once every 6 months or so.

    I bought one from Griots Garage and it was a special order. They gave me a chart to fill out with probably 20 or so measurements to fill out. Reason for this was they said so many of the Cobras...

    Nope. Go with the advice of standing up and then stepping out of the car. Otherwise you will get bit.
