front sway
After switching my front suspension for the third time i got to thinking about the front sway bar removal. I have heard of this in the past but not sure how benefical this would be or if it will hurt anything. My set up is primarily used at an 1/8mile track but i do drive around town about 20 miles a month. any help would be appreciated.

also had mine off for a couple of years. no probs. removing the sway bar is beneficial because it helps transfer weight to the rear wheels during a lauch. removes like 15lbs as well

just took mine off last week. under normal conditions it feels no different at all. but then again i dont go hauling *** around corners. as far as weight transfer its a big diff in how much the front lifts under WOT. doit IMO

I took mine off of my 98 SS and didn't care for the way it took corners. It will have a lot more body roll than your use to but for the 20 miles you drive you should be fine. I say start off my disconnecting it first and take it for a drive. After that you can take it off completely. That is an easier way to find out if you can deal with it around town.

I never said it had proven scientific data in it by any means, but theres posts in there that are way better than that 20 pages of crap in the recent thread. Where like 97% of the people in there are the expert at this subject.
Maybe I'll be the first to admit that I really honestly don't know for sure how bad it is or not

Its not that hard to just give him an answer.
