Default Rear Sway Bars

Do any of the Various models have a Rear Sway bars that are adjustable........ different hole to stiffen... not from the drivers seat.

Are there any photo's of how the rear bars are mounted....

I'm a big believer in lower spring rates and more control with Sway bars.... but haven't seen to many Cobra's with rear end control with the sway bars....

Any drawings on how to mount a bar in the rear area?

Morris,

Anti-roll bars of the type that you wish are quite easy to fabricate.

Just a bit of 4130 tubing, bend in a couple of places, heat treat to 38 rockwell, fab up some chassis mounts and links and you are home free.

There are a bunch of folks in your area that can do this for you.

Try Steve Latham at Citation. Or anybody in the Indy area. You will find someone that has the capability, not a black art.
