Default Swaybar question

will disconnecting the rear swaybar comprimise the integrity of the rear suspension (can I drag race it with the rear sway bar removed)?

Disconnecting the rear sway bar shouldn't have any impact on drag racing, positive or negative.

But disconnecting the FRONT swaybar can really help! "If" you're making enough HP...

If you remove the rear anti swaybar you will have no traction. that bar keeps both wheels planted on the ground during a launch. The car body twists to the right during a launch.

The front swaybar limits the front suspension from lifting. Without it the front suspension can raise higher and allow the rear to squat.
