[QUOTE="mu22stang, post: 11781976, member: 81298"] No, YOU are missing what an anti-roll bar is. I'll provide an example of the type of thinking seen in this thread: a skinny front tire. It's still a tire. It's still made of rubber, mounts to a wheel, rolls, and supports the front weight of the car. However, when compared to a regularly sized tire, it does a really poor job of changing the car's direction left and right. If this thread were about skinnies, all the posts claiming [I]I[/I] don't understand would read like this: a skinny is different than a tire. No it isn't. The physics are the exact same. It's a tire. Similarly, a [U]drag racing roll bar still controls roll[/U]. Once again, roll doesn't literally mean body roll due to turning forces. It means an uneven suspension load from left to right. In drag racing, [B]torque creates roll[/B]. No ifs, ands or buts. Even if a drag racing anti-roll bar restricts roll by 100% (which it doesn't) it is still the same component as a sway bar. If there's one reason I'm sticking around in this thread, it's to make this point understood. I know it makes the car unhappy when turning (because it's ULTRA stiff), I know it's not street friendly (because it's ULTRA stiff), and I know it limits the rear suspension to move primarily in the vertical direction (because it's ULTRA stiff). It is still a sway bar. From the moment the OP said it's different, I entered the thread. Until all posters, past, present and future stop breezing over the posts and actually read for comprehension, stop trying to teach me a false notion and learn themselves, this will continue. Sway Bar. [/QUOTE]
