Sway Bars, Sub-Frame, Strut Bars! oh my...

Jubilee · 07-05-2008, 10:47 PM

If this is the wrong forum, sorry. With my Stimulus Check, I am thinking of getting the following;

Full Length Sub-Frame Connector (Weld In)

Front Sway Bar
Rear Sway Bar

Front Strut Tower Brace (even made?)
Rear Strut Brace

K-Member Chassis Brace

I have a 2001 Cobra. I've been unable to find a front strut brace, and am unsure if there is one made for my car. Also will some of these items negate the need for the other. I am thinking of getting these parts from Blue Oval Industries. Has anyone used them, and have an opinion on their product. Any thoughts/opinions would be helpful.

I would recommend tubular 'K' member (not some type of support for stock) and weld-in sub-frame connectors (upper and lower). I would also go IRS brace, as per MANY who recommend it due to weakness in stock design. Don't bother with rear sway bar and front will likely be sufficient if above is done instead. Forget strut tower brace as well, as it is not necessary with tubular 'K' member. If you go with above items, you will be eat up other Cobras on the twisties (but you won't eat me

)
