It's even better when they agree with our articles :) Thanks Kris! It’s great to get a racer’s view in the comments. It’s even better when they agree with our articles :)

As a nod to your post about roll cages as performance mods - after the cage went in - it was like the worlds biggest strut tower bar. One of the benefits of not having a sway bar is you keep the independent suspension - more independent. Think for example your left wheels going over a huge bump. Massive sway bars would effect both the left and right hand suspension in that case. Potentially upsetting the car. It is certainly driver preference. I prefer a car that is a little "looser" then most - but what you should strive for with you sway-bar (or anti-roll bar) setup is a car that is truly neutral. When you drive it - can you make it understeer? Can you make it oversteer? Shoot for being able to do both and you won't get surprised during those high speed off-ramps :) Keep up the good work guys! - Kris I found that after adding a roll cage in my Dodge Neon - I could rotate the car perfect without a sway bar at all.
