I'll take the other side on this one. It really depends on how you drive your car when your on the street. I had mine off on my 95 Z28. I like a spirited drive on the street, as well as the occasional contest of speed should another car come along.
A corvette wanted to go on the highway and I changed lanes at 90+ with no sway bar, lost it, spun a few times and ended up on the side of the road with a chunk broken out of my dash from the chassis flex. I could change lanes at 90+ all day long with the bar on with no problems.
So if you ever like to drive a little fast or you frequently get into impromtu races on the street, I would leave it.

wow this poll had a total different outcome in the suspension section.
There must be alot more road racers in that section.

Mine has been off for a few months, I dont miss it. Then again, I take my time on the on/off ramps. Higher speeds (120+) the car gets a little sketchy, but thats not very often. I just dont do highspeed runs when its super windy

dumber question....how do you remove it? going to pull some weight off the car 2morrow and this is 1st on the list. i figured it was straight forward, but wanted to make sure, and find out what to remove/unbolt, and if anything needs to be left alone, or put back on after removal of SB

Just dont take corners hard. Im sure you arent if you felt no difference.
dont brake really hard at high speeds, even in an emergency
dont speed because its unstable
