feels like a crown vic

03BMstang · June 3rd, 2008, 10:27 AM

well i just got done taking the front sway bar off, very interesting test drive hehe. the front end feels like it raises up more which is awesome, and speed bumps seem softer. but my main concern is the body lean, as my car is a DD im afraid of what would happen if i had to make some emergency maneuvers one day. that being said is there anything that can be done to have that awesome feeling(other than adding more hp and tq that comes later

) while still maintaining some of that sportscar feel?

DeMello · June 3rd, 2008, 10:28 AM

no clue but wats stage 1 n stang 2 in your sig?

03BMstang · June 3rd, 2008, 10:41 AM

my little secret lol for if im ever in florida. . .

DeMello · June 3rd, 2008, 10:42 AM

ummm ok lol

03BMstang · June 3rd, 2008, 11:14 AM

but anyway.. back to the topic at hand, im gonna put the sway bar back on for now. but i would still like some insight

whtpny · June 3rd, 2008, 11:51 AM

i believe it was said that subframe connectors would help offset it some

MustangMatt96GT · June 3rd, 2008, 06:25 PM

subframes would help, but dont worry about the sway bar. Its pointless anyway, IMO>

+1 You would have to make some MAJOR maneuvers to upset your car

MATT02GT · June 3rd, 2008, 07:11 PM

Can you make some kind of quick disconnect setup for the sway bar links? Ive thought about doing something like that. I wont ever leave it off all the time because I love tearing up the raod course as much as the straight line. And mines a fatty Steeda sway bar

00redgt · June 3rd, 2008, 11:54 PM

so running ur car without the sway bar wont hurt anything? cause i live with alot of curvey roads around here

zinc02GT · June 3rd, 2008, 11:57 PM

How hard is the sway bar to take off? Ive wondered about doing this but Im also afriad of some thing breaking or putting too much stress on parts that shouldnt have it because the sway bar equalizes it...

can any harm truley be done by doing this? any one have proof?

03BMstang · June 4th, 2008, 01:17 AM

it didnt take long at all... about 15 minutes, and really you dont even need jackstands..i just turned the wheels to get to everything. 8 nuts total that you have to take off, then just slide it out

00redgt · June 4th, 2008, 01:36 AM

yeah but is it goin to hurt anything else,its on there for a reason

99mustanggtman · June 4th, 2008, 02:00 AM

i took off my front and rear sway bars and this thing rides like a boat

boats are not quick to maneuver.. i think.. bad thing? lol

03BMstang · June 4th, 2008, 03:21 AM

lol

nah it wont hurt anything, its only there to stabilize. the only thing i can imagine it doing to the car is decreasing tread life if you decide to drive the twisties ALOT without it

MATT02GT · June 4th, 2008, 11:37 AM

The only thing it will hurt is your handling

White99stang · June 4th, 2008, 11:51 AM

what are sway bars lol. haven't had front or rear for over 5 years now.

zinc02GT · June 4th, 2008, 11:54 AM

white99

your car is a straight-line-only car though lol

i might take it off today. SO all this does is displace the weight a little bietter?

White99stang · June 4th, 2008, 11:56 AM

dude i drove the car 60-100 miles a day too and from work up until about a year and half ago when i parked it.
