Quick Question

I am in the process of removing my sway bars in order to hit a really good side to side (air ride), but Im unsure of whether or not my car will flip easier, this is what I think but if it isnt then my girlfriend will be more ok with what im doing to my car lol.

So basically will my car flip now during a turn without sway bars, or what exactly do they do. Thank you for any help and if your gonna flame for me asking a noob question just go do something else.

I don't see why you would flip. I have never been in a car with air ride, but if you are lower than stock height while driving, I don't see any increased risk. There is a risk of flipping with any car though.

Sway bars just prevent body roll. They are there for handling reasons and not necessarily for safety reasons. For trucks and SUVs they help keep the truck from flipping but there are many cars that don't even have roll bars.
