Default Sway Bar

What does it do for a car? Is it better to take it off or leave it on for the track?

I believe that removing it allows the front end to rise and therefore transfer more weight to the rear end, providing better traction. However, if you drive on the street, you will notice a definite change in handling.

My buddy has a Mach 1 without the fromt sway bar. He said it takes some getting used to, but eventually it will feel normal. Ive rode in it and it feels no different other than the front lifs better when you take off.

If you tske it off... just do it for the track. It only takes about 15 minutes to remove it.

jdaniel,

I installed my springs a couple of weeks ago, but the front is still sitting at the stock height. If I replace the end links with shorter versions, do you think that will help? I know $hit about lowering springs and I'm upset that my 2 inch drop was 1 inch in the rear and 0 in the front. (My prothane isolators account for 1/2" I suspect).
