Disconnect front sway bar for 1/4 mile run?

[GlassVapor]

Search button kinda sucks, and yes I did try. Should I disconnect the front sway bar for a run at the strip?? I have Eibach Pro springs and 275/40-18's Nitto's, 3:31's and FI, 5spd any help is great. Last year on 235's non FI Eibach Pro was 2.0 0-60 at 103mph. Wanna help the transfer, Ideas?? 440rwhp 422rwt

no prob, im subscribed to that tread so i had it saved. I havent had a front sway bar for like a year now, no problems, i dont think it made much of a diffrence at the track though.

Search button is only as good as the data input in to it to work with

You can just disconnect it. I did last week and it made a huge difference. Car squatted a lot harder and hooked really well with my crappy nitto 555r's. Pulled numerous 1.70x's which i thought was pretty impressive for my power and 4.10 gears. I just disconnected the sway bar and zip tied the links so they wouldn't move and rub against anything. Wish i would have tried it earlier when i was running my mickey's, would have pulled a 1.5x 60'

It appears you are also lowered?? Bump stops cut?? I'll try and scoot under tomorrow and dislocate the links for Saturdays Battle of the Steel Stallions

No their not. I have the FRPP handling pack. I actually was nervous that i would hit my tires being that my wheels stick out of the fender, but no issue. Good luck!

Could you pre-load the sway bar for lift? It would retain the sway control and aid front end lift.

If you jack up the nose, loosen the sway bar mounts till the suspension droops, then re tighten everything. That should pre-load it.
