I've just recently removed the front sway bar from my car to allow the rear end to squat when i launch it. I noticed that after i reach a certain speed though it feels like the front end is floating and it doesn't handle as well! I was wondering if a strut tower brace would help fix this problem? Any advice is deeply appreciated!

STB is not going to fix that issue. Improved handeling from a STB is minimal at best.

now you know why there is a front sway bar

yeah, strut tower brace is really not even noticable.

the sway bar is what keeps the body roll in check.

No it won't. Front swaybar delete sacrifices handling and control to benefit your drag launch and times. Drag setups are almost opposites of handling setups.

Hello
The missing sway bar is the reason for the floating feeling and a strut tower brace will just stiffen up your chassis a little bit but will not fix the problem! If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help.
Thanks

If you handle, why would you take the sway bar off? It has a minor benefit on the drag strip, but having it is a MAJOR benefit to handling.

I'm sure if he has stock shocks then that doesn't help the front floating around either. Again though.. shocks with high rebound settings which are good for handling probably don't help your front weight transfer.

The goal isn't to get the rear end to squat, it's to get the rear end to plant bu transferring weight.
Good LCAs, beefier torque arm, good shocks, front springs, proper tires and pressure ... those will all help.

It only takes a few min to remove a swaybar.
Pull it off for race nights, put it back on when you're done.
I run a rather beefy Spohn front swaybar on the street, much too heavy
to leave on for weekends where I'm at the strip.

Stick front sway bar back on and buy an aftermarket TQ arm (if you don't already have one).
