sway bar, down pipe, and end links....
sway bar, down pipe, and end links.... many of you have seen my twin turbo build and its getting pretty close to being finished. A buddy and i were putting on the front suspension last night and noticed that my sway bar is hitting my passenger down pipe. The pipe runs over the top of the sway bar and barely hits it when the sway bar is rotated up to put on the end links. it believe it clears the sway bar if i rotate it down some. Do you guys see any problems with running a little bit shorter end link? I could run without a sway bar, but its a street car.. i dont wanna lose a ton of driveability. I guess we didnt have the sway bar mounted all the way up when we fabbed the down pipes.. :-/
I drove around for years with no front sway bar. Unless you plan on taking corners at double the posted limit I don't think it is too much of an issue. I hardly even noticed a difference until the I pushed the pedal down and the front lifted a tad higher than normal but thats a good thing for weight transfer.
You can tell the front end is a little "looser" I guess but like I said I didn't notice that big of a difference really. I took it off one day and drove to the track and then never putit back on after seeing how it drove without it.
I've had to do an evasive maneuver before in my big *** crown vic with no front sway bar. I was doing about 60mph. I could tell I didn't have a front sway bar on, but I'm no Ayrton Senna and I was able to avoid the problem. You'll be fine. And it'll be faster at the track.

took mine off this year never could tell the difference and saved some weight that sway bar is heavy as ****, i vote just get rid of it will also allow car to transfer weight better
yes you can run shorter links, but removing it is no big deal at all
i havent had mine for 10+ years, probably 60-70k miles, and never once thought about putting it back on. i routinely take my car on relatively high speed cruises through back roads to the coast and you can tell its not there, but you adjust your driving accordingly

If you can get it to go on with just using shorter end links do it. I drive mine a lot on the street and like having it in. You do so much work on you're car if its possible why short change your self?
Remove it Josh. If you don't like it, then figure out a way to put it back on but I'd try driving it without first and I doubt you will even worry about finding a way to put it back on
