I tell you all right now, your car is going to explode into a thousand pieces if you run without the sway bars. They double handedly hold the car together..... haha


So are you saying running without the front sway bar is better? What is this better for... drag racing?

yes drag racing only.... i dd mine tho taking it off kills your turning, it leans, etc... but when it comes to launching it helps with weight tranfers... some one else can explain how... i have a feeling if i try to, itll be a long one, lol.

and zach... when u hittin up cecil again?

i have always wondered about taking the rear one off. some people say yes some people say no. both would affect handling but in cases where its a strip car yes or no is the rear sway bar needed?
