While we were putting in the new rear to get ready for supercharger HP (Superior 31-spline axles, FMS 355's, Auburn Pro Limited Slip, TA pre-loaded cover) we discovered a neat trick for a rear sway bar.
We had a used rear sway bar from a GT Mustang hanging around. While the Cobra was on the lift, we bolted that sucker up. Of course it hung down like Auntie Ethyl's boobs. We put a tall transmission screw jack under each corner of the bar and screwed them up until the rear of the car was actually off the lift slightly. Then we put heat to each side of the bar at the first bend after the mounting bolts. As the bar bent up we, screwed the jacks up further, each side a little bit at a time. In about 5 min we had a custom bend sway bar with plenty of ground clearence.
Process worked great and the sway bar actually makes a big difference in handlng. Total cost was $30 for the sway bar.
