Default Stock WS6 front sway bar on Z28 worth doing?

I've set my WS6 up to be a 99 percent drag car which means no front sway bar. My Z28 on the other hand is a 99 percent street car. Since I've got the front bar from my WS6 just laying around would it be worth it to swap over on my Z? I know its bigger but will I notice a difference? Thanks

I planned on doing it I just wasn't going to get in a hurry to do it if it wasn't going to be a noticeable difference.

Since you already have it, might as well put it to good use.

You should feel a nice difference since its just the front bar.

My car was pretty neutral with the 32/19 combo, with a little push when things got serious around corners but very predictable and easily corrected with throttle input. Alot of guys use the 32/19 combo for road racing.
