I noticed a lot of racers disconnect their sway bars.I was wondering if anybody has tried this on a viper and wondered how it would handle.I have a bent sway bar link and was going to try and ride with the sway bar disconnected.

I run with the sway bar disconnected when the bumps get really rough. It softens up the front end a lot without increasing the set-in, and allows them to work independently over the bumps. You do lose the ability to plant a lot of pressure on the outside ski in the corners though. If the bumps are bad enough, you probably aren't worried about railing around the corners anyway.

I have a viper s,and i was thinking if i run the sway bar disconnected and turn the ohlins up to the stiffest position,maybe it will still corner ok.I'll give it a try.
 
come what on the viper is really that old for technology? its not like there have been all of these crazy breakthroughs in the past couple years.
