I know of a lot of people taking the front swaybar off for better traction (im taking mine off tommorrow) but I've only seen 1 or two people running without a rear. In my opinion I would just keep it off he probably took it off for a reason. You don't plan on doing any road races do you?

Look at subframe connectors too. Lots of people around here like the Tokico shocks and struts. KYB makes some also.
