Don't attempt any seriously spirited driving and you'll be ok. Mess around too much and the car can oversteer HORRIBLY.
If you take it easy and drive like your average soccer mom you'll hardly notice it's not there.
It takes me about 10 minutes to take mine off.
BTW: Be prepared to buy new endlinks if you've never taken it off before.

You can get Energy suspension endlinks from some of the sponsors or Autozone if your in a pinch (sponsors are cheaper I believe)
Or you can get the stockers from your local dealer.
I bought the ES poly endlinks.

You don't need new endlinks untill you put the bar back on, and that's only if you ruin the stock ones taking them off. He's just saying it's easy to ruin them taking them off if they've been on there a while.
IMO I would leave the bar on the car. It's hollow and quite lightweight. If you go around a corner fast, or have to do some emergency manuevering, you may find yourself sliding off the road backwards due to the car being very tail-happy.
