Front sway bar?????

[road rage]

Why do some people gid rid of the front sway bar?

There was a pissing contest thread about this exact topic recently.

Do a search. Fundamentally, it allows quicker articulation of the front suspension. This helps transfer weight to the rear and improves the total traction available at the rear tires.

People take off their front sway bars for drag racing. It takes of weight something around 25 lbs or so and it takes it off where we need it most which is the front end. You can take it off and leave it off if you dont do any aggressive driving like on road racing tracks and as long as you arent really agressive when you turn your car when daily driving. I dont think it matters all that much. I am ditching my here b4 i go to the track next and plan on just leaving it off for the rest of eternity.

The OTHER reason people take them off is to replace them with a BIGGER sway bar.

gets rid of 25lbs, and always for better weight transfer to the rear wheels during drag strip launches.

It weighs closer to 10lbs and will make your car handle like crap if you take it off.

i still drive like i did with it on... so it will NOT handle like crap. and i'm going oustide right now to see how much it weighs.

it weighs 18lbs. good for drag racing and a good weight reduction mod.
