Default sway bar removal/what ive been up to

Just wondering if removing the sway bar completley from the car would be a bad decision, once done the car will only really be driven to and from the track, and car shows so it will not see a lot of road use, mostly strip.

Here are some pics of what ive been doing

now these hard corners you are talking about.... how slow do you have to go around them to not be pushing it? and what happens if you do go around a corner to fast (dont really know)

It will be fine. Looks like you already have skinnies up front so your not going to be going fast enough around corners to miss the sway bar.

just dont drive crazy and you will be fine. within the first 15min with it off you will already have a solid idea of what the car can do and what it cant do
