Front Sway Bar Removal
Most people don't remove the front sway bar on daily drive street cars. Most would consider the handling cost to be much higher than the benefit of "better weight transfer" and weight savings over the front of the car.

Is it worth it at the drag strip? Maybe

Is it worth it on the street? Probably not


Of course, other people may feel differently

I noticed that in the fine print at the bottom when I read it over

Like I said, to some people the benefits outweigh the costs, but for me, the launching benefits aren't really valuable to me on the street, but crisper handling is... for many reasons.

for people like you, perhaps adding a rear sway bar would be beneficial

haha... thanks. At the moment, I'm focused on my Fox, so I'd have to see if it would bolt up, what else I'd need, etc. What's it from, btw?

Its off of a 97 gt. Most likely I'm upgrading to a gt at the end of this semester so I might have some more v6 performance stuff for sale.

Nice... if I search around and decide I'm interested, I'll let you know.

Don't hold it for me or anything though.
