Running no sway bars. Author Post LongGrain Member Offline 516 posts [94%] Green Bay WI  Running no sway bars. 1:42 AM 6/20/2012 Reply  Edit considering removing one or both of my sway bars. Any of you dudes done this before? opinions? experiences? which one(s) did you take out? car setup is as follows. stock 16v w/ header and exhaust greddy type S coils 8k/6k T3 lower control arms T3 roll center adjusters T3 tension rods Battle Version 4 link Battle version pan hard Battle version traction brackets manual rack, ps knucks, spacers, and stock inner/outer tie rods. I run 14's with 185/60 all seasons (ze512 mostly) I've heard that some people really like getting rid of the rear, or both sway bars, been considering trying it but I want to hear some testimonials first. this would be for drifting, obviously. Dark*Squad!

Spring rates will also have an affect, if your running 9-10k or something really high up front a sway bar won't have AS much of an effect but it'll still be noticeable difference. Rear probably 7-9k or higher. But with rates that high the ride will be REALLY harsh and unforgiving.

It helped the car recover more from high angle, and made it transition real quick. w.tungsten Offline 133 posts [100%] Ann Arbor MI  Re: Running no sway bars.

(assassin10000) » 4:57 PM 10/3/2012 Reply  Edit I've been reading that about the rear on here but it's all hearsay. I'd really like to know which works better for grip. 1985 GTS Widebody Track Car Warren Member Offline 194 posts [93%] Victoria BC   » 7:23 AM 10/10/2012 Reply  Edit How is it hearsay? I just told you that I don't run one. Try it for yourself, drop a link for a lap or two.
