Deleting swaybars with coilover springs for street car
I just went and bought me a groundpounder tubular k-memeber, a-arms and coilover setup. I'm debating between the 300 or 400 lb rate springs. I heard that the big nasty looking front swaybar only applies about 50 lbs of pressure to the wheel on the low side of the turn. I was thinking that maybe with my stiff 625 lb "c" springs and the coilovers to follow, I could delete the front swaybar and mounts in my quest for the weightless car. I still want to be able to take highway exits at 55 mph.
What about that rear swaybar? It looks real flimsy. Does that actually do anything meaningful? I'm also getting tubular upper and lower control arms and doing away with the quad shocks. The less crap, the better.
This car is 100% street.
Thanks guys and happy racing.
Crazy Pete
