i wouldnt remove the sway bars, u will regret it one day in the rain!! my 93 2.3l didnt have a rear sway and it was all over the place in the rain and when dry till i put a gt sway on it, huge improvement!! i would never drive a fox without sways, u might just get lighter ones if they exist, also look for lighter rims, most stockers are pretty thick and heavy get a tubular k member that will drop like 100lbs right there! i think anywaysalso u need to research weight tranfer and stuff cus u dont want to lose weight in the wrong areas or ur car wount hook up good when u take off
