rear antisway bar question

[ocbaud]

well, since i figured out that for some reason i dont have a rear antisway bar, i decided to buy another one. i'm picking up an '98 cobra bar. this is a bigger bar than stock and it is also bigger than the front bar. my question is, am i going to have any sort of problems with running a larger bar in the rear than i am in the front?

no will just make it stiffer it will be cool

Theoretically it'll be easier to drift your car and you'll have less launching traction.

will it be better to later upgrade the front bar to a larger size than the rear bar?

No, just upgrade the bushings for the front bar.

A larger bar in the rear will make the car more prone to oversteer....not a good thing if you do a lot of driving in the rain.

it shouldnt be to bad. i was used to driving a 400+ hp truck with the same size bars in the front and back

It isn't. enjoy having a bar that is actually solid (cobra)

Didn't the 96-98 Cobras have problems with the sawy bars in the rear snapping due to them being hollow??

96-98 Cobra are solid. GT's are hollow which tend to break right at the welds. Most replacement bars are exact copys of 'Cobra' bars.
