Sway Bar Setup - Honda Prelude Forum

Lbarron3 · 04-28-2011, 11:45 PM

So I put my car up on the lift at my uncles garage and noticed that my front sway bar was bent.

I'm just wondering if it would be safe to remove the sway bar and drive on it until I get my next paycheck and order a new one. I can't afford to not drive my car because of school, work, and the kids so I just want to make sure It won't put too much stress on the other suspension components. I have Tokico Illuminas with Tokico shocks all around, everything else is stock suspension wise.

Also, if it is okay to drive on, what stiffness would you recommend I set my shocks?

Your help is appreciated, thanks.

Stiffness is a personal preference for daily driving, I like to keep it somewhat soft to soak up the bumps and keep the ride decent. You can remove the front sway bar, it will be fine, the car will turn in a little sharper but have more body roll.

yep, totally fine to drive without a front sway. autox people actually do this for better turning performance!

^This, I only meant it's ok to drive without it, best to have them both on. Even if the car turns in a hardly noticeable amount better you'll still have too much body roll.
