nope. as silly as it may sound you can add a front bar. I never did understand that rule, it gives rear wheel drive cars the advantage. If my Camry was stock other than a rear bar I would have protested that rule.

I have to stick with street tires as well right? I think I can add shocks, and remove the front sway bar.

Strange as it may seem, you probably want to put on a stiffer front swaybar instead of removing or softening it. It helps keep the roll angle down, which can help with overall grip by maintaing camber closer to ideal. It also makes the car more responsive and stable in transitions.

You can neutralize the car with rear toe out and/or high rear tire pressure.

You can get some Koni shocks to help stiffen things up and help reduce the need for the front swaybar.

Thanks John

Do you know if I need to run street tires or R-Comps? I think I can still be in novice class. I am infact a noob anyway.
