    Lots of winding roads? Significant covering? Spool in the rear? Those would play a factor for a front sway bar.

    if you dont plan on racing down windy roads, i wouldnt worry about it. actually i ran my old car with pro kit springs all around, with lakewood shocks and no front sway bar and it still didnt handle poorly. hes right about the spool tho, once i put that in with the soft coilovers in the front and sticky tires itd get a little sketchy

    I put a bigger one on my car, but i havn't been to the track in awhile. With the turbo on it, it was way too much of a handfull to drive with 40+ year old parts still in it...

    I dont run one and dont miss it at all. For having complete drag suspension and no swaybars the car really doesnt handle that bad at all. The most i notice with it not having a sway bar is when you steer back and forth one direction then the other. Thats when i notice it. But around corners the car stays pretty flat without it. But i dont drive like alot of these jackasses out there and take corners at 70mph. Im just not into that shit, especially on the street.
