remove the rear? I have never heard of this helping in any way. if anything many of us go to heavyer and stiffer rear swaybars. Taking the front bar off helps transfer weight to the back, take that front off yes, but not the rear.

If you run a right rear airbag you can delete both sway bars. There are a few guys on the board here running this setup and cutting some pretty damned good 60's.

i had my rear off for a while and it did not help at the track at all. my 60's were worse with it off because the car had more body roll on the take off. i put it back on,60's got better and that is how it stays.

Just thinking out loud, Stiffer in the rear is better I understand. Has anybody done a poor mans version of an air bag by putting wedges between the springs? Or maybe even compressing the springs? Compressing is stupid because nobody wants a long thread and bolt under there car durring a hard (or any)launch. anyway, I know wedges are sold for trucks when hauling, just don't know if anybody has tried them on there car....

Airbag is a cheap mod that works pretty well I think. Before I upgraded my rear swaybar I had an airbag and with the Hals I was getting low 1.4's.
I wasn't leaving straight though and some of the runs were getting hairy.
