Remove the end links unbolt the two U brackets with the bushings and finagle it down. You'll see once you lift the car how it needs to come out. 1hr job at the most.

If you have lowering spring it's not so bad as long as you're not trying to take sharp turns at 60mph. Stock springs it's slightly more squirrely.

I say if you go to the strip alot then go for it, but if you just drive the car than leave it on there.

"IF" you had adjustables in the front, you'd never notice it was gone unless you open track.

i run with mine off a lot. i take it out on twisties hard, DD, and race without it. a little more body roll hitting the turns hard, but not too awfully bad.

I just thought of one more thing. The "squish" turning into driveways can get annoying if you have over sized wheels and tires.

wanna sell me your sway bar and end links and stuff? i took mine off a long time ago, and would like to get mine back to handling well instead of pure drag racing. anyways, you will notice more body roll, but its not unsafe.
