I took mine off once I put coil overs on. I don't have one on the front or rear.

I have them off for better weight transfer. With the front one removed it allows the front to jump up faster. I have the rear off cause it was a bitch to put back on with my control arms and I really didn't need it. Coil overs are stronger and control body roll much better then the modified mcphearsion (spelling) stock suspension.
