I had the Che swaybar delete kit for one year. You'll definitely notice the front end being lighter (about 38 lbs.) and the quicker transfer of weight to the rear upon acceleration. For a DD it was no problem. Yes there is more front end body roll, but after a couple of days I only noticed it on high speed turns. The delete kit also makes the front end more comfortable over bumps and gives the steering a lighter, better feeling, IMO. The only reason I put the front sway back on the car is because I now drive some seriously twisty mountain roads everyday. But for a street car I recommend getting a swaybar delete kit. The Che unit is the best. It's light, and allows you to fasten down the brake lines that cross underneath the radiator like the OEM radiator support. The other brands had you using zip ties to do this! I sold my unit, but the CHE website had them for $129 last I looked.

 

took mine off with about 10k miles on the car. 50k on it now with zero issues. These cars you don't really notice it missing honestly.

 

Same here, just took my sway bar off about 2 years ago.

 

Thanks for the input guys.

 

I wouldn't think of doing this because I really like throwing my car into turns and doing some parking lot drifting.....:shiftyeyes ......closed course.. But I might get a light weight k-member.

So to keep this related....what if you pu a lightweight k-member, swaybar delete and a lightweight radiator support???? How much weight would that save and would it be beast mode?

 

The bmr Tubular K member weighs 20lbs less then stock. Steeda, to my knowledge is the only company that makes a lighweight rad support that retains the swaybar. I want to say that its a 10lb reduction from stock. Then you could get a arms, non race type, they are a 11lbs lighter then stock.

 

^ so about 40ish in the lb area?

 

actually it says half the weight of stock. The stock support weighs 16. So i guess its 8lbs

Steeda Lightweight Radiator Support - '05-'10 Ford Mustang


The K member is 20lbs less

BMR Tubular K-members


The Poly A arms are 11lbs less.

BMR TUBULAR A-ARMS


Thats 39lbs of the front. Better TQ transfer. Better handling. Better steering response.


Remove the swaybay all together while at the dragstrip and thats another 15lbs. The front sway bar itself weighs 15lbs.

So 54lbs at the strip.

 

I might do the stuff that will work on the street..........hmm.......

 

or you could just put some bogarts on for the same amout of savings...right?

 

bogarts cost a lot. and you cant drive them on the street. and they dont help with handling, steering, torque transfer. ETC.

You could do both bogarts and the rest at the dragstrip for over 100lbs off the nose at the strip. Hang the wheels with bolt ons.

 

torque transfer?

 

Dont act like you dont know what it is. Are you ready to order gears and lowering springs or what.

If you want lightweight 15'' wheels for racing, just get JEGS brand ones.

Awesome!! That's almost 2% less weight in the front end.

 

^forgot to ask that part..........and :withhomo

 

who here has paid $1,400 for headers? please inform me so I can laugh in your face

 

Germansheperd has ARH LT's which cost around 1400.


Anyway, kraigster I think the Steeda Radiator Support would be better for you, but if you can handle the lesser cornering ability, then get the BMR Radiator Support.

 

I like where this is going

 

I say you go for it because I don't really think Mickey understands why you're paying $1000+ for these headers. Scavenging FTW.

 

Yea ok.

 

^on a fox. Maybe, S197............HA! You are right rich I should sit this one out.

 

hsnap rich I guess you never had bogarts on your car after all.....or where they whole shot five stars?

 

LOL

 

The funniest part of that comment is that she thinks I or any person with half a brain needs to have driven a 3500lb mustang with 4 inch wide tires on the front to know how it would HANDLE. Im gonna go out on a limb here and say they dont handle. Thats just a wild weird guess from a guy with no expereince in the twisties.

 

Where did I suggest that you should run skinnies on a road course????

I know how cars handle with skinnies...I have driven them thanks

 

anything Roush sells or FRPP

 

This is either a very long response or she is asking someone a question.


either way, i gotta bounce. Its been real.

 

see you later rich and pm me when you want to meet up.

a dumb statement is a dumb statement. Gender does not matter stop hiding behind it.....

 

That is a matter of opinion now isn't it? Good thing yours and Mr. Dunmire's don't really amount to much in my world.

And the gender thing was sarcasm........

 

ok.....so. All of those things combined at the track should shed about 100lbs which is good for a tenth in the 1/4.

 

^ I was just clearing it up for the kids......

 

Ask someone.

 

I am asking you.
