Not Ranked
Yes. CR uses mid '80's Mustang 8.8 rear, custom CR lower control arms (much beefier than OEM Mustang), and an optional rear sway bar specific for the CR lower control arms.
Car, also equipped with optional CR front sway bar handles great. Dead flat cornering.
Essentially, sway bars allow the use of softer springs, while keeping car lean to a minimum during cornering.
An old late '60's - early '70's Pontiac GTO and Chevy SS Chevelle trick for improved cornering was to install an Olds 442 rear sway bar. 442's had them, SS Chevelle's & GTO's did not. Cars did corner better with, than without.
