alot of people that drift fc's run no rear sway it helps with the snappiness while transitioning imo

If you want more mechanical traction, do it !

No I run the sway on the street, and I disconnect one link and disable it at the track.

truebluegallo 03-06-12 03:36 PM

Any input?

Like said earlier, disconnecting or removing your rear sway bar will make the rear softer and thus give more traction. If you are a herp derp NA rotary, put it back on, and get off the track.

Nope sounds about right. Just push the rear out harder (ie clutch kick) and the rear will smoothly slide out rather than snap out. Since I dropped the rear sway I can actually manji because it doesn't snap the other direction. Its more grip for a smoother slide.

Wreckless Na. Lazy Ya. Don't want to keep putting it on then connecting again blah blah blah. It's also the same reason I'm on the bottom during sex. ;)

I run swaybar-less, front and rear, everywhere. Streets and track, feels a lot more controllable on the track and I don't even notice it anymore on the streets.

And it's more like sex with your wife, you know it's safe cause she's already been tested.

Wait i have a question. I have helper springs in the rear and i find it real hard to transition without having to correct my speed a bit with the ebrake.

Since the helper springs add a lot more droop, would it benefit me to run one??? I used to have a TII front sway(24mm?) i now put on a 22mm NA sway bar up front and feels way better, especially considering i have a carb set up whit no electronics. So this makes it way lighter than a TII.

I'm going drifting this weekend with this set up
Stance XR coilovers(DG-5?)
8kg spring up front
6kg rear w/ helper spring
22mm sway up front
no rear sway
no chassis reinforcement
welded diff.

Next time i go i plan on installing the rear sway

Lol, helper spring.
