    Default No sway

    Curious if any of you guys has given this a shot, either no front or no rear sway bar.

    Thoughts?
    Feelings?

    A lot of people have different opinions about this and i guess it comes down to personal choice in the end,
    but i personally have tried it with and without both bars and found it terrible to drive would out them and would deff recommend using both of them.

    Depends on your suspension set up really because running high spring rates reduces the need for arbs

    exactly every car is different it all depends on your spring rates your track width tires ect.

    lol i wouldn't go by anything i say but i have learned a lot the hard way, imo if u want a good drivable grip setup for the dry i would run soft rear springs a stiff sway bar and good tires.

    Apologies for not getting back to this sooner, couldn't log onto the site for some reason.

    I appreciate the responses.

    Was more curious if initiating into a drift is much different without. Ive got Greddy Type S coilovers, front 6k and rear 8k springs. I also have trd swaybars and rear traction brackets. It feel perfect in the wet, but since the track has closed here, and speeds are a little slower, I was thinking of ditching one of the sway bars to help with the turn in, in the dry, and get it sideways a little easier.

    Why would you want the stiffest car possible? The opposite is probably what you want. You want to run the softest setup you can without making the car boaty or so to respond to inputs as it'll let you use the cars weight more and the car should have a lot more grip.

    A bit of roll allows you to make more use of front end suspension geometry too depending on the setup.
