I ran with no sway bar for awhile.... Put it back in cause I dont see the track that much and the car feels better (more stable) with it in

no sway bar here, and it will never go back on for as long as i own the car

Glad to see you're a man of reason 1105.
I can understand removing the sway bar at the track, it's a 10 minute job, but leaving it off on the street is unsafe to yourself and everyone else on the road.
If a car doesn't handle the way Ford engineers designed it to due to OEM parts removal, then it's not safe.

I like the way my car handles, and I wouldn't want to drive it on the street without my sway bar. I prefer my car tight rather than sloppy.

stupid question, but are u talking about the one under the hood?

I believe your thinking of the strut bar, the sway bar is under the front of the vehicle.

This thread died fast Snoozer

I guess most people use a little common sense when it comes to their well being.

Here's a free bump

I had fun driving around without it on... Go down back roads swirving back and forth... whole car rocks. I did run better 60's at the track without it on, but I need to go back and try again with it on now that I've gotten better at launches.

i dont need a bump, the fastest NA cars are running no sway bar and the slowest ones have theirs on.

I have no rear sway bar.. it broke during a hard 1 - 2 shift.
Haven't replaced it yet.. but I only drive the car on weekends and sunny days.. so I'm not on the road much.. it makes a difference..

You should buy a Civic. You'd fit right in with the ricer crowd the way you gut your poor Pony.

how do you take the sway bar off? or are you all talking about strut bars?

Sway bars are nothing but a govenor........RESTRICTION!!!!!! I'm with snoozer, take em out, and launch your car. Then you really get planted in the seat.

1105 · May 19, 2004

sway bar... Theres 4 bolts holding it onto the frame, and 2 holding it onto the a arm (i think thats the other place its bolted to)

stangbanger94 · May 19, 2004

oh um sorry, I mean it restricts your stock suspensions capabilities. I thought some people would understand what i was getting at but I guess not.

Killercanary · May 19, 2004

Well, mine is still on the car and has been on all my best passes. I ran without it at the track and on the street for a VERY short time, and despite all reasoning, my car wouldn't hook as well with it off as it did with it on?!?!? My theory is the chassis flexed too much and unloaded the tires??? Honestly, I have no idea why it didn't hook as well. One note though... this was on drag radials. I never ran without it on my ET streets, but then again I have ZERO traction problems now, my only problem is the clutch will not hold a 5000rpm launch on the ET streets as it slips. I hope to fix that as soon as I get some extra cash flow with a Pro Motion setup. I will say that my car was DAMN scarey without the sway bar, every turn I came to made the front look like it was going to hit the ground and the rear tires looked as though they were lifting off of it!!! My dad's 91GT however shows almost no sign that the sway bar is removed on the street, its handeling is hardly compromised.

Here's the pic for you snoozer!!!

Me launching on 315 Nitto DR's...

Me launching on ET streets...

JFYI- I have a completely stock suspension except for Global West LCA's and full length subframe connectors. I also replaced the axle side bushings on the UCA with factory ford rubber replacements. I think my weight is good for one thing... traction, but thats it!

mto502 · May 19, 2004

Looks like Snoozer was proven wrong again. Big surprise there. You better change your sig Snoozy.

NA cars without the sway bar are always the fastest and the cars with it are the slowest though. LMAO !!

Yeah, I really feel for him !

NOT ! LMAO !

He pretty much brings it on himself. With a little more age and maturing I'm sure he'll come around though.
