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?

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.

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.
