Default Removing front sway bar - Body roll

This is for people with street/strip cars.

I was recently told to remove my front sway bar and toss it because it would help with my E.T. and I probably will not notice it on the street.

Anways, I removed it, and upon driving the car < 1 hour, it f*ing sucked ***. I thought the car was going to roll over doing a mild turn into my subdivision. At the track, I didn't see any justifiable difference in E.T. Anyways, put it back on today, and it is all better.

Point being, unless you have a pure drag car, leave the front sway bar on.

Thats all, thanks.

I know how you feel. I just hated driving my car on the street with the drag setup and I didn't go to the track enough to justify the negatives of it. SO ... out went the TH350/stall and in went a T56 and full handling package ... I didn't realize I missed driving it so much until I actually started driving it regularly again.

We don't recommend disconnecting the front sway bar on a street car. Like you said it makes it handle like crap. You will notice a difference at the strip if you have the right shocks.
