Rear Sway Bar Needed?
I have autocrossed my Cobra a little and a fellow suggested I would be better off removing my rear sway bar and getting a HD front sway bar for autocross. Without a rear sway bar, the independent suspension would keep the tires on the road better. Maybe with some more body roll. What say you?

I've always used a rear sway bar, and with my new Kirkham both David a Tom
recommended one, so they made it out of billet of course...

What size rear bar do you have?

Actually your decision should depend on how your car handles during an autocross event. Removing the rear sway bay will increase the tendency for the car to understeer. See Roger Kraus Racing - More Information
for a downloadable *.pdf on understeer/oversteer. I increased the stiffness of the rear sway bar to shift from an understeer tendency to a neutral/slight oversteer condition.

Like Gary said, it all depends on how the car handles now. The purpose of the bar is to add additional wheel rate. It's a fine tuning tool.
On the track I find the rear bar to be helpfull. But I disconnect if for the street.
