Sway bars according to a lot of ppl are useless on the strip.

I still have the stock front on my car... I have been hesitant to remove it, since the car has been working well as it sits... I guess that it is the old saying: "dont fix it if it aint broke"
I dont have any experience running without it, but it doesnt seem to hurt anything having it on.

as for the rear sway, Id remove it if its a strip only car....

take it off, if you get wheel hop put it back on. They are heavy and the only reason to need it is to control wheel hop if thats a problem for you.

Ask Bisimoto. he has one on his CRX. Im sure if it didnt work, he'd be the First one to take it off.
