    Front Sway Bar

    Anyone with a 1/4 mile car driven on the street take theirs off?

    I took mine off. I had 15x3 draglites on the front with no power steering. It wasn't bad but it wasn't a daily driver either. It definately leaned more in the corners.

    Cool. I want to do this on my notch. It gets about 2000 miles a year. I take it to work 3-5 times a year and take it around Robinson - that is it. Guess I will be fine!

    I agree. My car is downright scarey without the sway bar on it. Its a little better with coil-overs up front, but its still unsafe IMO.

    I took my off a few years ago. There is no difference in ride quality, just body roll.

    I ended up buying the 8# Steeda tubular drag sway bar. It's a good compromise between weight & body roll.

    The car is already scary with 90/10s and 3" wide fronts. Could it get any worse?
