So this may be a dumb question but I feel this would be the best place to ask it. I recently purchased and had installed full exhaust - BBK LT's, BBK o/r x-pipe and a magnaflow catback - and after the shop installed it I drove the car around town and was hearing a banging noise coming from somewhere around the rear axle.
Now my car is lowered with unknown springs (on the car went I purchased them) and the shop put it on a lift and figured out the catback was hitting the sway bar because, they said, my shocks/springs give too much. The owner of the shop said for a temp fix they can just take off the sway bar but I'll need to get new shocks & upper/lower control arms. So now my car doesnt have a sway bar and im saving to get the parts they said I needed and have them installed.
Now if your still with me here, how important is the sway bar for our cars? The shop owner told me I would only need it if I was going around the corner at 90 miles an hour which I dont do......
sorry for the long read but any info here would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
