Please do a search... There is a HUGE thread about this. Some think it's fine, some think it's completely stupid (I'm in the latter group).

Mine has been off for about 3 years as well, no problems here. I also run skinnies on the street, so I don't take turns hard at all. I also drive as far away from other cars as I possibly can
If you are a smart driver you shouldn't have a problem

I ditched it a long time ago, but like everyone else has said - drive smart and it isn't a big deal.
Although, unless you REALLY will see benefit from losing ~20lbs (or whatever the stock SB weighs) just leave it on the car and rest assured that you're not really hurting yourself either.

^^^yup, endlinks keep the front frm coming up so much. removing the endlinks gives the same effect as removing the swaybar but removing the swaybar knocks out 2 birds with 1 stone, weight transfer and weight removal

I've taking the front swaybar off my old LT1 car and my current LS1 car and it's not bad at all. Between the two cars I've driven for about 10 years with no front bar and haven't had a single problem. You just have to remember that it's not there and don't plan on any fast high speed lane changes or road racing.

Not always true. It takes time and energy to lift the front end of a car. A properly tuned suspension will yield very little front lift. However, a mostly stock F-body will get better traction from front lift due to no front sb.

Well i took mine off, seemed fine untill I was on 95 outside of philly and some serious **** went down infront of me. Spun out, hit the wall, building a new car now. Its fine 98% of the times, but that one time you really need to avoid something on the highway good god damn luck.

This stuff has been covered in the past time and time again. Everyone's an expert though because they've "..tried it and have no problems.." so that makes you an expert and entitiled to give advice on the subject right?
Time to start a new 100 page thread!
