The sway bars are just weak from the factory. I can't count the number of these things that I have seen broken. From cars that see weekly track time to everyday drivers that have never even seen a race track. They usually brake right where the sway bar bolts to the lower control arm. Right at the point where the round part of the bar switches to the flat part. Try one of the Steeda rear sway bars. Haven't had a problem with these yet. The factory bars are hollow, the Steeda is solid.

Don't the 96-98 Cobra's have larger diameter rear sway bars? You could give one of those a shot. Where is it breaking, at the end-link? If so it may be possible for someone to weld up some reenforcement or something.

No sway bar can handle him.

If NASA made him one out of fucking titanium he'd break it.
