Im hoping to get some better 60' times next time I head to the track and was wondering if removing the front swaybar is worth it on a basically stock car with a totally stock suspension? What kind of improvements would I be looking at with it removed? Is it hard to swap in and out? Thanks.
If you're not too sure and don't want to do "all" the work, spend a few minutes and just disconnect your driver's side endlink. It will simulate pretty closely what it's like without the swaybar -- just without the weight advantages.
Whats involved in the swap? Seems pretty easy, but I never actually got under there and took a look, though I will in the morning. Is it just a bunch of bolts? And would I have any issues just disconnecting the driver's side endlink? Thanks a lot.
I'm probably the only that will say this here, but removing it actually HURT my 60' times. I know, I know it shouldn't do that, but I ran my car twice at the track with it disconnected and the car 60's got worse. I attributed it to chassis flex in my vert. My car was downright scarey with it removed. Going around turns I thought my front bumper on the outside of the turn was going to hit the ground, and that that rear inside tire was going to lift! It was that pronounced.
