Suppose to take 26.5lbs off the front. It removes the sway bar and the bottom radiator support. "SAYS" it only takes 30-45 minutes to install. Think for $100 that a 26.5lbs savings is worth it? I would probably only put it on when I know Im going to the track

 

I will handle like heck on the street with the anti-sway bar off.

 

I know, it wont be a daily driver piece, just to get the track, race, and come home

 

You will not even notice the sway bar off......been running that same setup for quite a while now, no difference except less wieght and better times!

+1 -- A buddy of mine has the delete as a daily driver and says he don't notice anything what so ever

 

Bull. I've been driving without the front sway bar for many months and I never even noticed the slightest difference. Unless you're taking turns like Mario Andretti, you'll never notice it's gone. Plus, it saved me much more than 26 lbs. Probably closer to 30. Took about 30-40 minutes to install and there's no reason to have to swap it out every time you leave the track. Just install it and go. You won't regret it.

 

Removing or disconnecting the front sta-bar won't make the car undriveable, but it is something that is clearly noticeable to some drivers. We don't know anything about the OP beyond the fact that he intends to run it at the drag strip, so I don't think that any of us can say with any certainty whether he'd notice or not, or whether he'd regret it.

As a really cheapie test, I'll suggest to Brandon that you simply disconnect one of the front bar's endlinks and see if you notice anything. Only part of the improvement from losing the front bar is due to the weight removed. The rest has to do with how the engine torque reaction is managed, which is what disconnecting the endlink will demonstrate. We are, BTW, assuming thatrun timesare consistent enough to reliably pick up small differences. IOW, if they're scattered over a quarter second or greater range with no clear trend, it can be said with reasonable certainty that you won't be able to separate a few hundredths worth of real improvement from the tenths in the consistency issue. Which is probably another way of saying that you need a little more seat time in that car before you're really ready for this mod.

Thanks for the explanation. I already ordered it because it was really cheap. I just called and they beat the listing price by a lot. So we will see. The 4.10's went in this week which should help me some also.

 

Where did you order it from? GMS lists theirs for $80.

I think the reason that alot of people don't notice it is because of the stang's tendency towards understeer with the bar on will only get more pronounced with the front bar gone. The suggestion to pop the front end links and drive like that is a good one to see if it's livable.

 

Call them up and ask about it, you will be surprised at what it is shipped. I'm not gonna post it on here though.
