i have both of mine but im saying you can drop them if you wanna. itll just have a little more body roll in the turns. i like mine better with them on but itll be fine with them off.

I kept my sway bar, but my 86 had the steel bumper so I removed that instead. I think the car'd be a bit sloppy up front without the ssway

it wont change nothing with the stance or height. itll just let the body roll a little worse than normal. nothing to worry about. wont break nothing or anything like that

I got 4 banger springs and no sway bar. It kicks the front end up now. I love it, unless your like going in a perfectly straight line at about 50 and then decide to try and take a perfect 90degree turn....your not going to miss it any. I noticed my ride is much smoother now without it. Take it out. Its like 25lbs. heavy bastard.

After a couple days you'll forget what its like to have a sway bar up there. I had my rear one off and didn't notice a difference. I've put it back on now though.

I second the 4cyl springs and ditch the front sway bar, BUT LEAVE THE REAR ON!!! only remove the rear when a draglink setup... i had my rear off for a day and the car felt like it was going to tip on its side. i promise you wont like it unless you like have a VERY loose car. potholes and rough roads are horrible without it. but with the front off and the 4 banger springs you will love it, throw on some 90/10's also... the setup is very streetable, i drive almost 150miles a day with the setup.
