Has anyone ever done a back to back comparo with and without a front sway bar? I have always been told to scrap it for track performance, but what is the real world loss racing with it on??

I bet if it hooks with it on you'll see only a very small gain from the weight reduction. Cars that are tire limited and rely on weight transfer to hook will benefit most.

Tony,

One thing I like to do at the track is just loosen all the preload out of the endlinks....this will give you most of the benefit of removal without all the hassle of having to put it back on.

As said before weight transfer benefits depend on the car but it should always help the 60' of any street driven car.

Try it and see
