Highly recommended, it will help the launch a bit.
And don't trivialize that minimal weight loss, it is off the nose and every ounce counts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I would take it off and leave it off. Drive for a week with it off and you will not even remember it was there. Plus my endlinks broke when i tried to take mine off. Stupid chicago road salt must of rusted them. So I kind of had no choice because i wasnt going to buy new endlinks.

Re: remove sway bar?
so removing the front sway bar doesn't have any negative effects on daily driving? how about taking tight, fast turns?
