greaser removing the front sway bar gives better weight transfew in the front end and can reduce 60'ft's by a tenth or 2! i am pulling 1.55 60fts now, if i take that off i maybe albe to pull some 1.4?'s!! and yeah it went by fast but i want some mid to low 10s maybe high high 9's by the time i am done with my car if not faster!!

Congrats on the new best.

To elaborate on the sway bar thing...removing the front swaybar allows the front struts to operate independently, in turn, letting them actually do what they were designed to do in the first place. It let's them extend faster and further. It also doesn't hurt to remove 25 lbs off the front end

my car got a little too squirly for my tastes when i took off the front sway bar....car twisted and lifted up to one side.

yuck, i put it back on and felt safer.

Put an air bag in the p/s rear spring. I believe you can buy it individually from Eibach.
