does rear sway bar help with traction?

97Cobra · June 3rd, 2008, 07:38 AM

because for some odd reason the previous owner took it off...?

what size should i buy for back there? and what elese is recommended to help me hook better? drag radials, lower control arms, bushings, what type of struts n shocks should i get?

I know of a lot of people taking the front swaybar off for better traction (im taking mine off tommorrow) but I've only seen 1 or two people running without a rear. In my opinion I would just keep it off he probably took it off for a reason. You don't plan on doing any road races do you?

Look at subframe connectors too. Lots of people around here like the Tokico shocks and struts. KYB makes some also.
