Sway bar removal
How much is sway bar removal worth in terms of 60'?
I have no posi, Air bags, and ET Streets (which are spinning some).

Each car is different. Removing the front sway bar will do 2 things. It removes unwanted weight front the front of the car and it unrestricts the upward movement during a launch. Depending on how your car reacts will depend on how much better the 60' time will be. There's a good chance it will improve but if you get wheel spin from worn out tires, no suspension changes can help.

I just left it on yesterday and ran a 2.06 on ET Streets and a 2.14 on a buddy's 215/70s (we traded for a run so he could shoot for 13s).
I think I'll take it off next week and try for a 1.99er.
