Read my post, I never said you wanted a road race setup, I said you need something similar if you want high speed stability.
There is no way to makeup for taking off the swaybar.

Sooooo - let's see if I can help:

1) You have removed the front swaybar.
2) Your car has a "sway" at high speeds that makes you nervous.
3) You have a subpar rear suspension that is not planting your tires to the ground effectively.
4) You are still going 150mph on public roads.

Oooooooo-Kaaaaaaaaayyyyy

lay off the OP guys, obviously hes making HUGE power and can't hook for **** so he needs to go 150 on the street to real in the civics.

WOW. idk what to think of this whole thread between the answers and the ?s its just f'ed up. but id say if you have to do this then try setting up the rear suspension better. still stock sway bar out back? stock torque arm? upgrade both and see where your at. but like alot of guys have said 150 on the street isnt smart putting yourself and others at risk but if thats your thing then alright

well im hoping that maybe a bigger rear sway bar will help out, i alreadyy have the edelbrock torque arm so i would like to make that work until i get some other stuff done. thanks for the input man!
i dont go 150 on the street unless i have to run down my friends 03 cobra, and it was 2:30 am and we were the only ones on a 4 lane highway so we opened them up and mine had a shimmy to it. so i would like to make it where if i had to run that fast again i wouldnt have to worry. but i almost never get over 70 so i would rather have the traction off the line then the high speed cornering abilities. thanks again for the input though hopefully that will take care of the sway
