I have spoken with Tom at Tom's motorsports several times. He has built and seviced some very fast spec racers. They are running 600 pound front springs a speedway engineering 1 1/4 front bar, 400 pound rear springs and a 5/8 rear bar. I am running a hi-tech with the same front set up and coleman spindles. In the rear, I am running an 800 pound rear spring and no bar. Harrison autoworks set my cobra up and has also set up bob bacon's hi-tech. Bacon's hi-tech has an aero package and is probably the fastest cobra in the country. Chris Harrison does not run a rear bar on a cobra because he says that traction suffers off the corner. Also, you get a bunch of camber and toe change in the rear with the original design so stiffer springs is better. The stiffer I have gone in front, the more rear traction that I have picked up. I would be interested to here Morris's comments on no rear bar? Scott
