front sway bar I have a 98 camaro ss with the m6. I remember reading about unhooking the front sway bar for better weight transfer. Is this true? How much will it improve my 60' times? How do you unhook the swaybar? I havent seen any descriptions anywhere.
Thanks,

Re: front sway bar Im gonna have to try this next time I go to the track. Im going to loosen up my front shocks while im under there. I ran a 13.5 with basically stock car except for the loudmouth exhaust. My 60' times were around 2.2 and 2.3 .

Re: front sway bar What do you mean loosen your frt shocks,please tell me they are adjustable and your changing settings. and not that you will loosen the mounting bolts to your frt suspension. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Re: front sway bar A disconnected, or completely removed front swaybar is great for the drag strip, or street driving in a straight line, but do not think you can corner on & off the freeway ramps like you used to w/bar connected! You'll end up in the bushes--or worse. Best wishes. WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: front sway bar it will transfer weight a lot better. you will notice the front end coming up easier and higher. as far as unhooking it, just unbolt it from the lower a-arms. or, you could remove it completely. dont know too many people that still have the front swaybar. mine has been off for almost a year with no adverse affects on handeling.
