Can you expect a noticable 60' drop just by the front bar off?

.2 off your 60' is worth .4 off your 1/4.

if i was you i would just buy a lightweight one. i have a guy with a SC 5.0 and he does nothing but track and he said that track was a best time he has ever had. he will no longer go to the 1/4 mile track here. but he aid that in one track race if you dont have good brakes you will burn them out in 2 laps and a race is 3 laps

on steedas web site it say there sway bar weighs 6 pounds lighter than the stock one. The front bar is probaly 15-20 lbs. the stock is not 5lbs or the steeda would be negative 1lb according to there site lol

This was the first post, the other one I made was only information on "how to make your mustang hook" which turned into a sway bar conversation as well, the other post is someone simply asking where it is at.
