Default sway bar on sc10

will putting a sway bar on my sc10 really help with handling or is it not worth the money?

It probly won't help. Unless your driving on the road. In dirt it's not gonna. Get some shocks and tires.

They're not necessary. On a high bite track or something they can help, but there's nothing that a swaybar will do that won't be better if you read up on roll centers, damping, and shock position and learn to tune with them.

Yeah these trucks have more body roll than a full sized cargo van. But one thing I've noticed is that it doesn't actually seem to effect the performance that much (at least to me. It may be different for you). It just looks strange when the body pivots so much.

They really don't have that much body roll compared to stadium trucks. ThunderbirdJunkie's SCT:


It's just that the body roll is MUCH more apparent because of the huge body.

Control body roll with camber links...far more effective.
