I wonder how much more droop travel you gain by disconnecting the rear sway.

I have this issue.. I hear that crazy weird noise everytime I go up my driveway on an angle... and the rear tire will just be up on the air..Is this normal? are we going to break something in the future?

Robispec runs no rear sway because of the extra articulation keeps our rear diff grabbing pavement

That's a broad statement. All tracks are different and require different suspension setup. There are plenty of tracks that benefit from no rear sway and there are some that could use one. All depends on track and driving style.

It wasn't a broad statement. I never said one way was better, I just gave a specific example of who, what, why.

Guys run no rear sway at the drag strip sometimes too. There is not a one size fits all setup that works everywhere.

It will also depend on tires, power, temps blah blah blah.

Agreed. When you say Robi doesn't run one some people take that as gospel for all. There are a ton of newbs lurking and believing anything they read so I just wanted to clarify. No disrespect meant at all.
