Can it hurt anything? And is it worth doing?

Beyond making your car handle like crap, I wouldn't think it would hurt anything. What's your goal in removing the sway bar?

From what I've read, it's supposed to help with weight transfer and help with launching. I just read a debate on another forum after googling it, some ppl say it makes the car handle like **** and it can be dangerous. Others said it had little to no effect on handling but was worth it for the added traction during launches. Idk, just seeking more opinions...

Well, I guess you'll just have to take yours off and tell us what happens. And decide whether the increased understeer is worth the added traction.

bad idea. there are other ways to get what you are looking for

Yea I asked the mechanic at my shop, he said to just buy slicks

Some guys unhook it at the track and hook it back up after. A good suspesnion set up for the track should take care of it but keep in mind that trying to build a track/street car is very tricky since the balance is hard to find. Theer are going to be trade offs on what it good for drags vs the street, this why people unhook the sway for just going down the track. I would stay with drag radials for a street car that is only going to be going to do occasional track days. slicks are very hard on the driveline and can find the weak spots fast. Drag radials grip better than street tires but provide just enough slip to save you stuff for another day , just my opinion though.

Yea that's pretty much what I was thinking. Down the road when I get some wider wheels I think I'd like to get some NT05Rs
