Default Air bag needed along with BMR race swaybar?

Or is this overkill? I already have the swaybar and the airbag. Airbags have not been installed. I'd rather keep things simple & not mess with it, if I dont have to. Thanks.

A few people have said I would not need it. I wanted to confirm with the experts, you guys.

Harold,

The car launches pleny straight for 1.4x with the 100 or 150 out of the hole and just the xtreme bar. I don't think you'll ge too squirely with your 200 out of the hole but as you go with more juice, you'll want the bag at some point to get your best 60s. Derty should be able to confirm the feel going from the 200 to the 300 shot.

After I installed the BMR Extreme Swaybar I ditched the airbag. Now the car leaves straight!

No bags are probably going to ever be required by the BMR swaybar, simply because it doesn't have any forgiveness to allow the car to twist on the axle if you have it set up correct. Car leaves nice and straight with equal shock settings. Here, take a look!

The bags can always be put in later. Personally I don't think you even need to mess with them. There is the remote possibilty that my heavy *** prevents the car from twisting, but I highly doubt it.

Real funny Steve.. I haven't decided what to do yet. Gas tank is in, the rear goes in now. Working on it today, so I guess I'll decide what to do real quick. Thanks everyone.
