Front sway bar or no front sway that is the question...

[pimpm3]

I am building a 2000 Toyota Celica for ITR and I was discussing with my co-driver and one of my friends who races an ITA CRX about the benefits of a front sway bar. The car has threaded Koni double adjustable shocks at all four corners and I am running 650 lbs springs up front and 1050's in the rear. I purchased the suspension from a person parting out a NASA touring car Celica and that was the setup they ran.

I have heard that some people run Honda's with out the front sway bar in order to help with turn in. Is this something I should look into with the Celica? It will obviously save some weight and if it helps with turn in it sounds like a good option. What are the downsides to removing the bar? My last race car was mid engined and setting it up is different from the front wheel drive celica.

Thanks in advance...
