I just don't see the need for it when I have seen plenty of NHRA stockers run with them and no sway bar. Heck they pull some very low 60's (1.3's) with just an air bag. Not to mention adding more weight to the car.

Maybe thier chassis is set up differently than our LS1's. I tried mine without a rear anti-sway bar and could not hold traction at all. Air bag did nothing for me. Rear bar worked!

There's many guys in Stock running a rear sway bar. It mostly depends on how you've set up your suspension. And there are some who will leave things on the car that are simply decoys, not that I'd know about doing that stuff

My car never got wobbly, I always figured it was part of the swaybar on the back though.
