sway bars

I was wondering how rear sway bars affect launches at the strip? I took off my front sway bar, but I also read something that said no sway bars are best. So I was wondering if I should take my rear off. I believe I read that Code left his rear sway bar on, so I figured it doesn't really affect launching that much. What sway bars do you run, if any?

RE: sway bars

I had the rear one off for awhile. I put it back on and it was better with it on.

Ok, thanks. I just read somewhere to takeboth of them off and I didn't see a point in removing the rear sway bar.

Allows the suspension to travel.

It allows the front to rise easier/faster and give better distribution. If you are a straight-line guy and not into taking corners, then take a couple minutes and remove it. You won't tell a difference driving around town. I don't feel any more body roll than I did when I had it on.
