How long does it take, and what is involved?

I know that it'll get your car to lift its nose a bit higher, plant the rears, and get a better 60' time.. which I'm all down for.

But what are its downfalls? And how do you go about removing the front swaybar? I did a search, couldn't find too much info....

 

Well i have mine off and it is a easy job,just two end links and 4 bolts and it comes right out.I noticed a big difference in weight transfer but i also noticed that it does not handle turns nearly as well as before and you must keep that in mind when your driving on twisty roads.

 

or doing doughnuts,dont wanna flip youre lid

 

i took mine off the car transfers real nice , pulls the front end up real hard. The downfall is the car handles like crap, going into a turn you have to fight the steering wheel. you must always pay attention going into a turn or it will get out of hand.

 

Glad I had mine in when our convoy of F bodies came across a tire on the bridge at 90mph. Or I'd be swimming with the fishes.

 

I remember reading in an old magizine where they removed it and it reduced their 60 ft by about a tenth. I can't remember exactly, it could have been more or less, but is definetly worth the effort. It is real easy to remove, but I would only do it during track runs, leave it on for the street. Just the other day, some guy came out from a street right in front of me, so I had to swerve and go around him in order to avoid hiting him head on. Had I not had my bar, I don't think I could have avoided him. If you live in a cold climate like me where the bolts are rusted, you might break them when trying to loosen them, happened with me, had to use a torque bar just to loosen them(endlinks), so I knew they would break. Not a big deal, since new bolts and rubber is cheap, around 12 bucks, so if that happens just upgrade to better bushings.

 

pros- better weight transfer. lightens up the front a little.

cons- you have to take exits a little slower than normal.


i drive my car every day and have had my bar off for about 4 months now with no problems. there is less control cornering without it in, but i dont really notice it. if you love flying around curves/exit ramps at insane speeds than you'll prolly be a little dissapointed. im not into that crap, so to me there's not that much difference.

thanks for the replies, there's some relaly good info there.

I guess I'll remove it and see if its worth it some make it sound like it'll handle like a boat.. some say its just a subtle difference.

I guess il'l find out.
