With skinnys you wont see much difference, where you WILL notice a big difference is when and if you ever have to change back to normal size rims/tires on the front, I couldnt wait to get my skinnys back on, felt like it had major body roll on normal size fronts... Just my $.02

What size backspacing do i need on the front skinnies?? I have a set of Weld Racing Draglites 15x3.5 but they wont even come close to fitting. Even with the spacers they still rub the calipers. But they may have the wrong size BS. What do I need to run skinnies up front?

Nearly impossible to determine. All you are doing by removing the sway bar is allowing the front suspension to act fully independent of each other and taking the weight of the bar off the nose. Will it help? Yes. Is it free? Yes. Might as well do it if you're going to the track, or at least disconnect the endlinks.

Ride "quality" won't suffer, in fact it is usually better without the swaybar. Handling is where you will see the drawbacks. Skinnies have very little sidewall stability and without a swaybar, the car will tend to push through corners more. As long as you don't fly around exit ramps, it's really no big deal...

I think it sucks driving around on skinnies, but still do.
You can really have some fun with full slicks and skinnies on the street. So much that its againnin the law.
You might gain a tenth from the less rolling resistance and weight drop from the skinnies.
