And now back to the original question...

Dude, the cost of the sway bars front and rear is minimal to the overall cost of what you are buying. The painted roller is probably going to set you back $50k. Add your engine and you're well over $60k. Why scrimp?

If you need to scrimp a bit, do the scrimping on something that doesn't matter like engine dress-up goodies or foot mats or a Cobra cover---you'll get all this stuff for Father's day or your birthday or Christmas anyway. But don't scrimp on the Cobra components. The engine you can swap out or dress up anytime. Build the roller to be everything is should be. Get the sway bars, front and rear.

Cheers,
DD

I get that, but it's a matter of doing without several things that can be added later and in total add up to a few thousand bucks. Thanks.

... and no matter how much you think it will cost, it will still end up costing you more than you think.
