Sway Bar Delete

I was thinking of taking off my front sway bar when I go to the track. Is this a good idea? Should I leave it off or get a new aftermarket one?

It will work fine for drag racing duty. With out it, you will notice the car feels more boat-like while driving. Some cars do not even come with a front sway bar.

I have had mine off now for about 6 months. Notice alittle difference with normal driving, but not that bad IMO. Noticable difference with it off though at the track.

Better weight transfer and a little weight reduction.

ive had mine off for over a year no probs here, you can feel a difference when fast turning but other than that it seems normal to me but when launching hard you will then know why you took it off

I'd say pull it. I pulled mine and have not looked back since. I just remember that there is no front bar and do not attempt to dive into cornering turns at high rates of speed. I do agree with Black02ss, you'll notice on the launch.
