Ok to daily drive with front sway bar removed? Ok to daily drive with front sway bar removed? What would I notice with it gone? Would be driven 2-3 days a week, not much.

I drove mine about a year with out one, no problems. It will drive somewhat like a boat though. I put mine back on because I started to get intrested in AX & RR and the car just feels more together with it on.

Pretty much what felton316 said. I've driven around for a month or so at a time without the front bar,,,, no problems as long as you remember you don't have it on.
You will notice it's gone. Weight savings isn't a whole lot,,,, maybe 15-20lbs for the bar and mounts I think. There is a weght reduction thread here,,,, check it out for exact numbers.

It's not to bad on a daily driver. You might want to invest in some adjustable shocks though. I would suggest the QA1 "R" Series with adjustable rebound and fixed compression. I run no front sway bar and the shocks full loose on the street and I can still get around corners pretty quick. You just have to becareful around tight bumpy corners because the inside shock will unload real quick.
