GT sway bar is 25mm, the cobra is 29mm. There will be less body roll with the cobra sway bar compared to the GT sway bar. And possibly it will also get rid of some of the understeer?

Thanks for the info, do you know if there hard to install, i was thinking if I got the roll bar I would want some polyurthane bushings to stiffin it up some more, some like the energy ones, would i need the GT set or COBRA?

It's the svo type hood, and it's about 8 1/2"

Thanks, I really appreciate the info. I am looking for a certain hood I saw in MM&FF and can't seem to find it anywhere. I thought it might be the SVO hood with the stock GT scoop put on it... because I emailed MM&FF and they told me it was a custom piece. 8 1/2 inches doesn't seem to be quite big enough since the stock scoop is 18+".

Ya i know what you mean if you look at my hood, the lines after the scoop it almost comes to a point. while the GT scoop is parrallel. I bet you could make it work if you know how to use fiberglass.

changing the swaybar shouldn't be hard at all, just use some airtools. I cant speak from experience, but I cant see how it would be that hard. I would assume the polyurthane bushings for the GT, because they are assuming you will be using a aftermarket swaybar. I see what I can find out, but thats my assumptions.
