1" or 1 1/8" sway bar?

your suspension settup is just about perfect for racing. i would say a bit more rear roll stiffness and the car goes faster through the same corner. i know you dont like a rear bar, but in this instance perhaps a small one, say 1/2-5/8" would be about right to truely balance your suspension.

You ever considered redoing your front a-arms to remove the anti dive and going up to the big boy springs that the Cobra Automotive guys use?

I forget you guys run on bias ply tires. There's a bunch of slip in those, and you're right. You have to slide it. I'm just saying you will really have to slide it with a sway bar. I watched Bobby Rahal run a car at Goodwood last year and the front five were totally sideways from the apex off on every turn. Radials ruin your perspective.

Thanks for the input.

I believe going fast in these things is a matter of driver set up preference. I simply drive a loose car better than a tight car. Have tried a rear sway bar and it simply does not work for my style of driving.

I have the big bar and it is fine for the street. Can't compare, cause I never had the smaller bar.

my thought is that you need a bit more rear roll stiffness, or a bit less front roll stiffness since you are starting to pick up inside front tire. the easiest way to do that is to use a small rear bar. a stiffer rear spring will also work.

Actually it is a 1 1/4 bar, and you're right it looks great, so does the neat centerlink they also offer. I have the sway bar sitting right in front of my 66 waiting until I finish some other adjustments before bolting it in place. I installed the centerlink last week, it is also very nice, I filed off some rough edges and coated it with POR15 to match the other pieces already on the car. Here is a link to the bar and the centerlink, http://www.cobraautomotive.com/new%20products.htm
