Default just some good advice

Today i recently installed a set of steeda ultralitr springs to lower my car 1 inch. At first i thought that wouldnt be enough to noticebut i was wrong after installing them i was pleased. Myself i am a straight line person.I used the steeda springs, because i heardthe ride quality is great and it didn't make my car stiff like my freinds car which has eibach sportline (2' drop). I also asked him about removingthe front sway bar and he said that he wouldn't. But i have had 3 fox bodies and i took it off all of them. Today i was hard headed and took the sway bar off just to see for myself, first of all yeah it hurt some if i was going to go through a slolem but after removing it therewards in weight transfer was phenominal. Of the line my 06' transfered weight tramendously, i was just at the track and i would say removing this 15 to 20 lb peice shaved of a tenth in a qurter. I just cant say howmuch the steeda ultralite springs and removing the front sway bar helped. Everyone know the s197's achilies hill is its weight i am j looking for every angle.

Swaybar removal might be good for the drags.. but is it really worth it? How does the car handle in mild/medium cornering with no swaybar? How about in a more extreme "accident aviodance" maneuver?

And, if you're gonna remove the front swaybar then you really should remove the rear one too. I hear it's dangerous to have a rear-only swaybar (unpredictable oversteer)

100lbs = 1/10th but like you said the transfer of weight was better so that improved the acceleration.

Sounds like fun.

Personally I like my roads like my lady, Curveyyyyyy
