Rear Sway Bar

[silverspider]

While installing a set of sport springs on my 74, the rear swaybar bushings disintigrated. I have been told that it might be worth leaving the sway bar off altogether as it allows more compression in turns and thus the delivery of more power. Any thoughts on the subject at all are welcome.

Thanks.

My own experience (GTVs and sedans, not Spiders, which might be lighter in the rear) is that the rear bar is good to have with a stock front bar. If you have a bigger front bar, the rear bar may tend to make the car oversteer (loose at the back).

More rear bar leads the car to oversteer; less rear bar leads the car to understeer.

I take it this is a street car, not track car?
