im trapping 88.2

Removing the front sway bar improves the wieght transfer to the back tires. Also lightens up the front end. I drive Mine every where without it, so u should be fine.
I went from a 2.1 60, to a 1.9, but my car is as stock as they come.

I had a 32mm hollow sway bar up front for years. I recently took it off (it was cracked) and I honestly barely noticed much of a difference. Now, I've lowered my car a little bit, have qa1's all the way around, with 300# springs up front. My rear shocks are set to 3, and my fronts are at 1 (softest setting, because one of the dials jammed on me) so I find the front bouncy, but that is due to the shock. Handling wise I can't complain, I've been able to swerve no problem
Try it out, take the sway bar off, go for a drive, see if you notice a difference...try hitting a corner a little agressive when it is safe to do so and see how she responds. Try yanking the wheel left to right on an empty road see how she responds.
I really thought I would miss mine being off, and started looking for a new bar right away, after driving it, I've opted that I don't need it and won't be replacing it.
My hollow 32mm bar weighed in at about 15lbs, I think the endlinks are a 1lb or so, and the brackets are 1.5lbs each
