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.

I removed mine about 3 months ago, and haven't looked back. I enjoy driving the car a LOT more with it removed. I have Bilstein shocks on the car so handling isn't horrible, and the car SQUATS during WOT now, I like it

That's true it will sqaut and lift a bit more with no sway bar. I would recommend to plan to leave it on for spirited street setups.

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'll feel a difference on take off.More front end rise (weight transfer)

You'll not like it when cornering or when doing fishtailing burnouts

do you have to get the end links?...or can you just remove it and that's it?

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.

i tried taking off the sway bar...i got the two bolts on each part where it bolts to the car itself, but i can not get off the bolts on the two endlinks...is there something i am missing...they just keep on spinning and when i put a wrech on one end and a socket on the pther...it won't budge...i soaked them it wd 40 too, and nothing...and help would be greatly appreciated
