quick sway bar question anyone on here with aftermarket sways or performance sways on here? i heard that when u throw on sways to your car it kills the body roll...while this sounds great i usually use the body roll as a indicator of how much further i can push my car lol can someone with sways tell me how they like their ride before i purchase a set

thanks

If you use body roll as an indication as to how much further you can push your car, I would suggest you take some high performance driving schools before you continue to push your car.

Body roll, in it of itself, is but an indication that weight transfer is happening and depending on your skill level, may actually be a GOOD THING. There's a reason why most club racers modify their sway bars last, because sway bars reduce body roll but does not technically speed up the actual weight transfer itself, resulting in artificially removing AVAILABLE GRIP.

Slip angle is a much BETTER indication as to how much further you can push your car.
