What type of results have you guys had by removing the front sway bar?? Is it worth it...any actual track times?? My truck had two different spring pressures available for the front suspension and (without me knowing when they were installed) I have the stronger (stiffer) springs so I am thinking about removing the sway bar permanently since this will never be a corner carver anyway (15" rims).

Kind of a try it and find out situation, for lighter vehicles, we usually notice a difference.

I just yanked mine out, but I won't have any back to back info on how it helps. I'd be surprised if it doesn't since it weighs something and you are quicker if you are lighter. Mine was a monster, an aftermarket 1-5/16" Hellawig bar that I guess weighs more than 30lbs. I will weigh it tonight to find out for sure. It should also help with weight transfer. For a dedicated straight line car, I see no reason to keep the extra weight.
