Smooth surface might favor a live axle??? Contemplating that and I can see your point (and raise you one)...

I think a sway bar on the IRS would provide the the right amount of weight transfer on a smooth surface track and thus still out perform a live axle. Some like sway bars, some don't, I think they are a MUST HAVE myself.

My Excal had the 9" Ford four link (sway bars front and rear), certainly nothing special, but I got to tell you, it WOULD stick like glue. Yokohama road race rubber helped a LOT! The track here (Hawaii Raceway Park) is a rough surface track, by the way. So no matter WHAT you run, the Cobras, in general, are pretty darn decent in the corners against what ever your up against.
