After seeing many posts regarding this issue, and being curious about it myself, how many of you have removed your rear sway bar? I'm thinking about quick disconnects down the line...possibly from a tax refund. We'll see.

I wouldn't waste your money on quick discos for the rear bar. You feel very little difference when driving with no rear sway bar. There are much wiser choices for which to spend your "mod money."

the easiest mod I ever did..... pulled it off and threw it in the garage. Done. Instant additional flex. :D

This is a no-brainer...
Take it off. Drive around a few days or weeks.
No problem? Done!
Don't like it? Put it back on and consider disconnects.

Didn'r we cover this about two weeks ago? I'm looking for it in the forums.....

but now it is a Poll!

:flipa:

It's been covered several times, but I was interested in numbers. People may be more likely to vote than actually post. Thanks for voting.

As I posted in the other forum. I'm running Bilsteins with the swaybar still on. The right Bilstein is upsidedown.
My question is... Does anyone have the Calmini Quick Disconnects on their X right now with aftermarket shocks??
If so, Would they or wouldnt they recommend them??
I do a lot of street driving and at least once or twice a month go offroading.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

YAY! POST NUMBER 50!!!

Shouldn't this be "who removed their rear sway bar"? When I read it I thought you were talking about front and rear. Or, maybe I am a dick.:bloated:

I apologize for my ignorance...read the message title. I can't change the poll question after the fact. Schlud?

Changed it. Is that ok, now?

Much appreciated...thanks!

I'll let you know. Just ordered the large body rear Bilstein shocks and will be installing them next weekend. Interested to see how the X will perform without the rear bars.

Took mine off this weekend. It had dented my stock shock and I thought I'd see what the difference would be without it. I've driven over 100 miles since, up to 85 mph - I can't feel a difference. As far as I'm concerned, it can stay off.

Exactly what I was thinking ... who has more than one rear sway bar?

Thanks Philo. Read my last post.

From the survey results, looks like I'll be removing both of my rear sway bars...http://www.plauder-smilies.de/icon16.gif

Ok I'm now post rear sway bar. First let me say the new rear shocks rock. Thank Rick for helping with the install. Oh hell for doing the install. Can't wait for the front ones to arrive. Anyway there's not a huge difference post sway bar. The back does seem to tip a bit more but not to the point of making me feel like I'm going to go over. Glad I made the move. Can't wait to try it off road.

I imaging the only way to get the rear sway bar off is with an impact gun. I tried using my wrench and almost broke my wrist. Now, if I could just find somebody with an impact gun..:thinkerg:

Every garage should have this on their shelf.
