When is a drag bar necessary vs a regular sway bar
as stated above. im in the process of going though all my suspension pieces. i have removed the front sway bar and from what i have read here i need to upgrade the rear sway bar. but im unsure as to weather go for the drag race rear sway bar. or just upgrade the rear sway bar for a larger one. i have read some stories that a drag race rear sway bar may be too much. as far as my goals r concerned right now im looking for 1.6 60'. im at a 1.7 60' throttleing into it. now that i got all new aerospace brakes and prostars with new drag radials. i hoping for shorter 60' times but again am unsure of when to use each.

We have many guys driving around on the street with our BMR anti-roll bar so that wouldn't be an issue but with 1.6-1.7 60ft times you could probably get away with using a stiffer aftermarket street sway bar something like our SB003. How does the car currently launch?

car launches straight but i had to throttle into it cause my tires were very old and dry rotted. but like i said i just got a new set of tires and brakes and i havent ran the car with the new pieces yet. (always raining) its just that now that i removed the front sway bar i remember reading that i need to upgrade the rear sway bar. im just unsure as to which one i should upgrade to.

Your sized motor has more then the potential to require a drag bar. If you can get someone to shoot video and the biggest thing is seeing how the car leaves. A soon as you start popping wheels and they are un even you need a drag bar. A heavier then stock is a good improvement but IMO if drag racing is a big factor is to get a good bar on the car.
My 2 cents.
