seriously though, give the guy a break... its a HANDLING forum and he wanted to know the effects on HANDLING with the swaybar removed.... true, most of the guys in here DONT KNOW because they arnt drag racers, and its a drag race thing..... but lets not hold that against them... the questions been answered... and if i see it asked again, you know what?? i'll answer it the same next time... because the search sucks, and its a easy question to answer... anyone who has a problem with that should sit back, not reply, and chill out.. its only the internet.

They are on there for a reason, IMO removing it for drag racing inst worth it for the extra pounds you save.

If I can't avoid little johnny wondering on the freeway since I have no sway bar........I'd like to see a truck do it better.

Question for you guys that pull the bar off altogether for drag race purposes. Why not just disconnect one endlink while at the strip and then reconnect it before heading home? Pretty simple really. That's what I used to do anyway, but then again I AM getting pretty old so it might not be relevant anymore...

I haven't read all the posts, but here is my set up...
No front sway bar, KBDD sub-frames, wolfe 6 pt weld in roll bar and a 1 5/16ths rear sway bar (sphon drag bar) The car seems to handle like a stock F-bod...I don't corner carve though and I only drive 70 miles round trip to the track with it. FWIW.
I did remove the end links one time when the car was stock and It's not something I would DD.
