Default Removing front sway bar

I was wondering how much weight this pulls off the nose of the car, how much it helps launches and 60' times generally (I drive an m6 that will be relatively stock except for a lid, nittos, and subframes), and how much it effects regular handling and cornering.

Thanks!

You can't really describe this over the internet. There are some things that you have to experience for yourself. This is one of them. Just unbolt it and go for a drive. It isn't a big deal to take off and put back on.

If you are dead-hooking, it will only help because it removes some weight (about 10-15 lbs). If you cannot get traction, then it will allow more weight transfer, which can help traction some. It depends on your situation.

You will notice some extra body roll in the turns. I went from stock to no sway bar to some G2 bars, and now I'm going back to no front and a larger rear bar.

Get under the car with a 14mm (maybe 13mm) and just unbolt it.
