Post Removing the sway bar?

when people talk of removing the sway bar for weight transfer, do they remove the bar entirely or just undo and remove the end links?

I hope this is not a foolish question.

It's all what you want. I took mine off, but I don't race any curves. I only race straight. You can just unbolt it if you like taking curves. I didn't want that weight hanging under my car eighter.

Shaun,

You can unbolt the endlinks but why not pull the entire bar to rid yourself of the extra weight? 11lbs is 11 lbs. I did notice a difference in my 60's, .10 minimum.

Good Luck
