Sway Bars

[cobra427mnsi]

Message for DV or anyone else with the experience of removing the sway bar.

DV - I've read in several places that you recommend removing the front and rear sway bars on the CR cobra. I am presently lining the front nose air intake with aluminum and that darn sway bar running right across the front of the radiator looks rather ugly. It would be nice if it wasn't there. I know you recommend removing it. I quess I just need reassurance before I rip it out. Will this action improve handling or make it worse ? You said that your times on the track have improved. Are you talking drag strip, oval track or road course? I have never raced my car, but am contemplating addind a little excitement to my life (by racing) in the near future. Could I remove the front bar but leave the rear bar in ? Or, if one goes they both have to go.

I would like to remove the mustang II power steering rack and pump. The manual Flaming River rack that you recommend looks good.

I would also like to get rid of the Chevette tilt column and go with yours, but the thought of moving the ignition switch etc. seems too daunting.

From the beginning, I have not cared for the steering (handling) of my cobra. It wants to wander a slight amount. I have aligned the front end twice according to the manual's specs but the problem still persists. I think the upper control arms move over time even though I really torque them down after alignment.

Sorry for such a long message, but I have so many question since I recently (2 months) found this site.

You have been very helpful so far . Thanks again for your generosity in sharing with fellow cobra lovers.

Ps - can hardly wait for DVSP II see ya there
