Drag Suspension
 

So i have been told that the cheap way to a good drag launch is to use 4cyl springs up front and gt springs in the back and sub-frame connectors and strange struts and shocks. I also saw several people say take off the front sway bar. what does that do for you??

Just Curious

on my 88 i ran lakewood 90/10's up front with no sway bar and 4cly springs. out back i had lakewood 50/50's stock springs and southside bars

Two advantage's of running the 1/4 without sway bar is weight and weight transfer.

RE: Drag Suspension
 

Removing the front swaybar allows the front end to lift faster, which increases weight transfer. Dont try taking any turns fast though.

RE: Drag Suspension
 

Never knew about taking the sway bar off, is there a noticeable difference? and why 4cyl springs, sorry fellas im a suspension noob:D

RE: Drag Suspension
 

There can be a slight difference in et without swaybar. The four cylinder springs are used because they are a lighter spring that expand easier which allows more weight to be transferred to the rear wheels.

Well it is not a daily driver at all so off comes the sway bar.

Does taking the sway bar off affect the alignment?
