For most part front sway bars are always removed.

Who needs front sway bar anyways??

You have stock sway bar right?

Is the turbo setup from a sponsor?

In the process of procuring the setup.

Turbo will come from a sponsor and hopefully the kit as well providing one is out there that fits my needs...


Looking for what options I have. Honestly I would have one made if I had a shop nearby that could do the fabrication.

Im sure guys with T6 setups will come in and give you an advise, far as I know most of them remove their front bar anyhow.

I'm hoping I can get mine to stay. I don't mind making the car faster, but I don't want to compromise it's safety/drivability during the 99.9% of the time I'm not on the track.
Granted I don't have mine yet, but hopefully that'll change in the next month.

Go out and disconnect it on the car now, drive it around and see how you like it. This is the best way to test it out. I am betting you will find that you will not miss the front sway bar at all

I agree to an extent. I've driven the car for a year without it. The only time I miss it is on highway on/off ramps, river roads, or quick steering wheel movements, none of which I've found on drag strips. But I kind of look at them like airbags, helmets and harnesses. Good to have when you really need them. Plenty of people are fine with running without them though.

If you do miss it, get a cheap strut tower brace like the one from Founders and that'll help bring some stiffness back to the front end and remove for drag strip duty

chuntington101

A sway bar has nothing to do with the stiffness of the chassis. Its there to try and keep the front wheels doing the same thing as each other ie if you hit a bump on the driver side the sway bar will try and lift the pass side wheel to compensate.

This helps reduce camber change, bump steer, etc as any changes in the suspension geometry of one wheel are balanced over the axle.

A strut brace will simply increase the front end rigidity and only somewhat at best.

I know how it works.


But I also know what I experienced on a car that didn't have a front swaybar. With a strut tower brace added the front end felt more planted in turns compared to without. I didn't work quite as well as the front swaybar, but it did add some rigidity that was noticeable when driving.

I took the front swaybar off for some track passes and liked how it drove better. Never put it back on

Took it off and drove it around a bit. I noticed right away how different it is when taking a normal turn. I never drive aggressively around corners anyway but it is a little different. With that said I never put it back on and the car drives fine for me. Takes a little drive to get use to it.

I did a t4 s480 and kept it, wouldnt have been any difference with a t6

Made fab work more of a pain, personally I would pull it but it wasnt my car
