I could probably put stiffer rear springs in it but that would not allow it to squat and hook up as well from a standing start.
And also there is probably not enough droop in your front suspension......

Wayne Proctors car suffered the same affliction at the Nationals last year. Carried a front wheel all the way around the fish hook. Doesn't mean the car is slow, just probably not as fast as it could be. Depends what you want to do with your car. Regular street duties and the odd bit of track time wouldn't really warrant the use of a rear sway bar. Most Cobras have oversteer issues, put a rear sway bar on a car with oversteer and you get more oversteer...
