It's like driving a minie van instead of my Nismo. First car i did this with was a 93 mustang lx, you get comfortable with the sway bar off and learn it's limitations. It's not that bad.

My advice to anyone that is interested would be to try it your self, it's like any mod. it takes time to get use to. Like launching,it takes practice, its another tool to use.

Posting best time and todays time. Only thing that improved was my trap speed by almost 2 mph. 1.8 to be exact. must be my $69 mod that did it! LOL
I'm lucky #13

I might give it a shot on Fri.....not sure if I'll have time to get the front bar off by then, but we'll see. I just want a 1.80 60'. That and temps in the 40-50 range should give me the number I want. Thanks for giving it a run.

What mods on your nismo?

What mods on your nismo?[/QUOTE]

K&N filter inserts,1995 Cobra R wheels 17X9 with Faulkin 615's 275/40/17.
Took rear muffler off and had a pipe with tip welded and then bolted to original exhaust.Pipes coming of today sounds bad a$$ but to loud!

Good luck on friday if you get a chance, not that hard to remove.

Havent had a chance to run at the track the weather here is horrible, but i have to agree with nismo, its been like a week and a half and i love it driving with it off, it takes some gettin used to for those who like corners, but for me its perfect, since i have to be careful running DR's on a daily basis

I went to the track today and i have to say doing this was a good idea. My average 60' was a 1.889. I am very pleased and i highly recommend the removal of the sway bar

Removing the sway bar is a bit more (unnecessary) work compared to simply removing one bolt from each endlink to disconnect it from the bar itself. It takes like 5 minutes per side, including wheel removal.

Removing the bar and end links also removes 18.5 pounds from the front end which is a plus for the time.Took me a total of 1 hr. well worth the time when your talking drag racing and tenths.

hey guys went on track wednesday. my third time .i have a question ,why my speed at finish line are higher than everyone else .

look at my timeslips and tell me if im doing everything right ,

mods are HKS Hi power ,injen Cai , berk hfc ,08 base , stock wheels and tires(that what kills my time i guess)

my 60 feet time is 2.2-2.3 so if i get better tires launch better .ill shave those 0.4 off my time .means that im gonna run 13.0 or under 13.0?

You have an HR........we have DE's, but your mph seems awfully high even still. Almost 86mph in the 1/8th is pretty nuts. What was the weather like?

Given those conditions those traps are high, but not outside the realm of possibility.

Better yet , just remove one endlink.
