Default Swaybars and U Joints

I've heard some people removing their rear swaybars..I don't use my car other then a daily driver and going to the drag strip when I get time off from work..The car isn't used for cornering but I do make ocassional road trips..

Would it bennefit the car to run at the drags without the rear swaybar on ??

Also I want to replace the U Joints on my stock aluminum driveshaft..I did a search on the subject and got 2 part numbers one from Napa #235 and I beleive Spicer S-44..I want to use the best joints I can buy so any help with this will be appreciated..

Thanks

Rear sway bar actually helps at the track from what I understand. Some people pull the front sway bar to get better weight transfer.

I like my car to be able to corner hard so pulling the front sway bar is something I'd only do at the track.
