Re: Front swaybar removal ???



 
Ok Verne, here is my OPINION!!!!!  I'm running this setup right now on my 16v.  Stiff springs, koni adjustables and a stock rear bar (no front).  I have to say this setup is great.  i was expecting a real tail happy car, but its still very neutral.  My lap times also improved quite a bit.  But i think this setup will only work with fairly stiff springs (to compensate for the lack of front roll bar).  So, if you've got stiff springs, i say take 'er off

Subject: Front swaybar removal ???

    Hello all. I just put my delrin contorl arm bushings in and was wondering..........now that the car responds what seems like twice as fast.............do I still need to run the swaybar?? Is taking it off going to induce too much push without it?? Orrrrr, should I keep the HD brackets on there and get poly bushings for the bar instead of taking it off. Of course, one other option......take the front bar off and install the stock 16v rear bar in place of the stock 8v rear bar.           OPINIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
