      To remove the sway bar. First let the car’s front face to you. then use your fingers to pull on the two sides of the sway bar and then lift the bar up and it’ll pop out.

      If u remove the bar. it does affect the response of the steering. THe steering returns to straight slower. If u want to lower your Bit. Do the tab lowering, slot lowering and use springs on the steering instead of the sway bar. But in my opinion, the stock sway bar is low enough.

      There is a little nub in the center of the stabilizer bar, it’s the highest point. Put your fingernail on the back edge of the nub and gently pry the stabilizer bar up and toward the front of the car. It kind of tilts out, back edge first. When you put it back in, do it the opposite way… put the front tab in the slot and push the back down. It will snap into place.

      I’ve had mixed results without the stabilizer bar, it usually steers sharper and, like leonli17 said, it is a little less responsive. Springs make it drive smoother, but require some fussing to get them just right.

      Clicker pen springs are too big and stiff (that’s what SHE said) though they might work if you cut them just the right length. Try springs from HO slot cars. You can usually get replacement slot car parts at a hobby store. I think ph2t makes and sells springs as well.

      The four pen springs’s diameter is too big for the steering. U can go to Toys R Us and find the Slot car tune up set and use the springs in there. the set cost $7.99AUD.

      supra boy i have gotten on to a number of high quality springs which are ideal for suspension, if interested pm me…… they need to be cut to size and each spring is enough for one car…

      Yeah grab the HO springs, they are non magnetic and a breeze to cut down.
