Default Negatives to running w/out a front sway on EP3?

Friend (who is on here, lazy *** won't post it seems...) who swapped the K24A2 (TSX) motor into his EP3 is a little underwhelmed. Part of the reason is he doesn't have it fully tuned and he's also running the stock TSX header w/ cat. He wants to use the Comptech Race Header that was on his other motor, but it won't fit with the front sway bar on there.
How bad would it be to run without the front sway? What about removing that bar and going with an undercarriage brace/upper strut bar? Any ideas on which bar might fit (or how much a "custom" bar would cost)?

Just interested in everyone's thoughts...he doesn't use the car for autox/road races but he doesn't want it to be a sluggish pig, either.

^^^ That's what I thought, but he knows of another guy with the swap doing it and I've got to imagine that not every car has a front sway...or do they?
