Gary, Dave, anyone else who cares to chime in, I would like some advice / opinions...

I am thinking about just removing my front sway bar. Gary, sounds like you had decent results doing this?

I will be running stiffer springs up front, the ones Dave/RSG sells in his kit.

Do you guys think the front will flex up better without the anti-sway bar, and will it be safe on the roads?

I don't drive like a race car driver, but I don't want it to handle TOO poorly on the corners, especially if it could be a safety issue.

So do you guys think it will handle acceptably without it, considering the springs will be stiffer up front?

I am also installing new Monroe front struts when I install the springs. I hope I don't regret not getting the stiffer KYB's.


As long as you don't try and use the standard rate springs you should be OK. OE's are way to soft and will bottom outgoing around even the most modest of roundabouts, let alone a decent sharp turn. It really isn't the "wallowing" that is of concern, it is actually keeping all 4 wheels on the ground that allows you to keep control. Best example of that can be seen in very early Range Rovers that looked quite scary from the outside as the body seemed to be at 45 degrees to the wheels, but they stuck to the road very well and the "feedback" of the vehicle being at that angle when you were driving was enough to make you slow down a bit anyway.

It will most definitely flex a lot better without the bar.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
