TRD rear sway bar installed

[xnamerxx]

I'm running the trd bar and would probably go to a bigger bar if I could do it over.
To add to this I pulled my front bar off last weekend to get an idea of how the car behaved with it missing, and it wasn't doom and gloom like I expected plus my times were something in the range of 2 seconds faster on a 60 second course this is also with running -.8 camber vs the normal -2.7 I usually run.

Going over my data I definitely lost lateral traction something like 0.05g but I was able to get on the gas so much earlier that the slight loss in lateral traction didn't matter. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone unless they were running much stiffer springs since body roll increased dramatically. Also I was having problems with rubbing as well as the car became quite a bit more loose and would oversteer on trail braking which is good for me since I don't left foot brake.

Understood, by the time we got to the point of disconnecting the front bar, we were running Koni inserts in custom housings with adjustible coil-overs and camber plates. Rear was set up with inverted Carreras with in-board lowering springs and 7/8" adjustible rear bar, also the tranny had a 4 puck clutch disk, 800 kg pressure plate and Phantom-Grip LSD unit. Car handled like a go-cart, but could barely outrun it's own shadow, still fun to race though!!
