I ain't feathering a thing when I launch! Maybe you just need to get a Stang!!![sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]

 

Yeah, I'm not feathering anything either
My problem is I'm just not launching as hard as I could be...
Due to Rear End and Transmission
Theys Bof Stock.

 

How does the front sway bar removal and fox springs affect driving on the highway, backroads? I still drive an hour to the track.

 

Drove a Notchback down the street that doesnt have one
It's not THAT bad, but it does feel like it floats a bit...

has it removed, and drives his to the track everytime, and I guess sometimes around town and such too.
PM him and see what he thinks about it

 

My cornering doesn't feel any different with the fox springs compared to stock - but the nose dives more when I stop and it raises more when I get on it. The cornering doesn't feel any different at all... I like

Can't vouch for the no sway bar thing though - haven't done that and my wife says "no biatch" when I bring the subject up.

 

Just do it when she's not lookin/home

 

You obviously don't know the wrath of Veronica

 

no front sway bar is going to negatively affect how well the car handles on the street, especially in turns or emergency manuvers like heavy braking, so I wouldn't recommend removing it unless you don't drive on the street at all.

 

i think my 60' was due to stock tires, tranny and turbo. not to mention engine. the sti guys are pulling 1.6's all day. i'll have to wait until spring now. i better pull a 1.6 too.
