So i have been told that the cheap way to a good drag launch is to use 4cyl springs up front and gt springs in the back and sub-frame connectors and strange struts and shocks. I also saw several people say take off the front sway bar. what does that do for you??

on my 88 i ran lakewood 90/10's up front with no sway bar and 4cly springs. out back i had lakewood 50/50's stock springs and southside bars

Two advantage's of running the 1/4 without sway bar is weight and weight transfer.

Removing the front swaybar allows the front end to lift faster, which increases weight transfer. Dont try taking any turns fast though.

Never knew about taking the sway bar off, is there a noticeable difference? and why 4cyl springs, sorry fellas im a suspension noob

WhiteWindsor

There can be a slight difference in et without swaybar. The four cylinder springs are used because they are a lighter spring that expand easier which allows more weight to be transferred to the rear wheels.

Well it is not a daily driver at all so off comes the sway bar.

Does taking the sway bar off affect the alignment?
