Default Anyone ever run without there front swaybar?

Im thinking of doing this, just wondering if anyone had tried.
I have full suspension, teins, strutbars, tiebar, rear s/t swaybar, rollcage.

I don't have mine on. I don't like it much. The inside front wheels lifts to early when cornering, it sucks. I have to find some poly bushings and slap that sumbitch back in.

I'm using front and rear STB's, rear ST sway bar, H&R OE sports, and KYB AGX (3/6)

this is the dumbest logic I have ever heard


I do not run one on my race car. It helps rotation but tends to lighten the inside wheel. I am also running 800 lbs springs up front. Try loosening the bar first. See if that gives you the results you want. Or look into getting a custom bar made for the rear, you know, something like 27-28mm in size.

I've ran without it before and the car does sway alittle bit in turns.

It would be far better to get a larger rear sway bar instead.

you don't want a front sway bar on a FWD car, you want a rear one, and a thick rear one at that. And if you have a front sway bar, you want a small one if a tall.
