rear sway bar or pan hard bar
**)My cobra tends to change lanes when I hit it hard from a dead stop or small roll it has fox mustang rear suspension but no sway bar im thinking a pan hard bar will be better what do you guys think?

Are you running limited slip rear end?

A sway bar or (anti sway bar) and a panhard bar are two totally different things. Sway bar helps stabilize the car side to side. Helps cut down on body roll. Ties the two sides together. A panhard bar locates the rear end in the frame. Keeps it centered and stops it from moving side to side.
A panhard bar will not stop body roll(unless you mount it way low and are turning left and it gets up on the bar...lol) and a sway bar will not keep the rearend located. A fox body mustang uses a triangulated four link. No panhard bar is needed to keep the rear end located. Make sure your bushings aren't worn out. If you have bad bushings on one side that would cause rear steer when you pick up the throttle.
Coil overs or stock springs and shocks?

are the bars on the 4-link adjustable ?
If so you can adjust the upper right depending which way the rear steps out.
If the car goes left, go longer on that bar. Reverse that if it goes right.

Im guessing im making close to the same HP and mine is 91"s. Limited slip and a z-link coil over set up with a watts linkage to keep it centered. It get all kinds of side ways if I lay in it hard.

Our 460 powered car with coil-overs all around was doing the exact same thing. A Super Modified racer friend of mine and I were talking one day, he asked me if the car had been Scaled. Well we spent a couple of hours doing just that. WOW! is all I can say now the car is like on rails. Standing start or roll-ons it is a pure joy to drive at any speed especially balls to the wall acceleration.

Ok lifted it yesterday to do the oil change and ended up working on it all day found the problem someone replaced all the rear control arm bolts with 7/16 bolts instead of 1/2 so the rear end was walking around i fixed all the worn holes and put all the right bolts and now it works great!
