Right on. So how do you make your front suspension more loose?

I think removing the sway bar helps a lot.

How bad does it lean without the front sway bar? Is it tolerable or rediculous?

I removed it from my camaro and it was noticable but not bad at all.

bout the same, if its lowered i think its more noticeable cause it may bottom out, also depends on wheels.
