If it's a drag car, you don't need the front sway bar.

Do i not need the front sway bar... is it that big of a difference with it. I would like not to use it if i dont' need too
not really, but if you take it off just get used to the car before you go and do anything crazy.
but the rear bar helps reduce front to back body roll on hard accelleration.

The Engergy Suspension ones from AutoZone should be fine.

cars didnt even really have sway bars until the late 80's/early 90's... so how many older cars do you hear about breaking spindles because they dont have sway bars? Thas just dumb. Ask him how that will break a spindle and post his answer, this should be fun
