fc front sway bars bad?
I am leaning towards not messing with it much, as the side effects are mostly undesirable. I know the difference between the inner front rolling on the ground with no weight on it, and in the air is not much.
I was secretly excited to change the front bar because it will drop some weight.. I still may switch it over for a speedway style bar of a similar rate simply for some extra adjustability to fine tune things.

on the rally car (FB with FC front stuffs) I ran NO sway bars at all. But I also compensated with spring rates and damper valving. Car drove wonderfully on asphalt and gravel. Also the front bar limits travel on my setup

I would do it just to get some bearings on the bar and not have to deal will bind-prone poly bushings.

I had the bronze bearings on my FD Tripoint and the noise transmitted into the chassis and steering wheel was horrible just driving to the races. I went back to the poly.
Its not a big deal on a short drive, but if you drive 4-6hrs to a race you feel pretty worn out by the time you get there if your car isn't easy to drive.
I think a thin delrin sheath/cylinder pushed into an slightly oversized poly bushing would work very well for decreasing the maintenance (yes, you really do have to re-lube poly all the friggen time or it is bindy).
As long as the car is already loud and a chore to drive.

I need to pull the front of my car apart anyway. I am going to add a zerks to the sway bar mounts and my front control arms too.
