Sway Bar

scxc15 · October 11th, 2007, 10:00 AM

What would it do to my car if I remover my sway bar? I read somewhere it would save a tiny bit of weight and alos I put wheels on my car form teh 2005+ model and the front scrub my sway bar if i turn sharp and I dont want wheel spacers if I can help it.

well you remove about 25 lbs from over the front of the car. this is great for weight transfer for the strip.

if you remove it, you will have more body roll into turns. other than that, not much more to it.

How much more body roll? Like how different will it be to drive, this is my daily driver so....

its going to be sloppier in corners and its already got pretty insignificant body roll so with out it ur looking to have allot

mines a daily driver with no front sway bar for over a year. its fine unless you car about handling. also, the rear will come out around corners instead of the front pushing into corners before removing it

sounds fun... but i do enjoy the tightness it has in the corners so i think ill keep mine.

It doesnt looik hard to take off, is it? I might try it for a month and see.

sorry for the triple post, my dorm connection got fubar'd

scxc15 · October 12th, 2007, 12:19 AM

Your right it is easy. I don't know if I should remove it or not though....Its another one of those gain something lose something mods lol. We do get a fair amount of snow around here, do you think thats going to make it even harder to drive in the snow?

scxc15 · October 12th, 2007, 12:29 AM

I had a few more questions that are kind relevant but not really. How much weight does a rear seat delete save you? Also does anyone know how much a strut tower brace weighs?...And would installing one counteract removing the sway bar or even help?

The incorrect offset and backspacing doesn't bother your alignment?

tjames · October 12th, 2007, 01:45 AM

it really doesnt save you enough weight to make a big enough difference to make it worth it IMO...unless you are going to the track, then take the rear seats, spare and jack out and then put it back in after you are done at the track
