would it help ?
would it help ? i will be going to the track in a couple of days would it help if i remove the front sway bar and take off the spare tire and jack and rear seats would there be any gains in that ? any help would be apreciated
1. sway bar : There are threads where over 50% of those replying have removed it. . .25-30 pounds of weight in the front removed...good deal most will answer.
2. rear seats/spare/other miscellaneous items : Old rule of thumb, for every 100 #, you gain 1/10th overall. You yank 300 # of stuff...thats a quarter second. Some will reply that you're not racing your car anymore since you've removed large parts of it. Oh well, Do you want to race fast or 'pure' (i.e. everything there in street trim)? Have fun, be safe, talk to everyone while you're waiting for staging & get opinions to help form your own (safe).

Any drop in weight always helps elapsed times.
