i run no front sway bar, it isnt that bad. in the turns you can feel a bit of body roll and really high speeds on the straight away you feel a bit flighty....but nothing major.

i still have my rear sways on.

body roll defiantly worsens, corner feels like you're going to flip over lol

^^its not that bad and if it feels that way to you, you need to inspect the rest of your suspension

I 2nd that. When I was racing my 87GT at Bradenton raceway I removed the front swaybar at the track and decided to drive home that way and did not like the handling on the ride back. Felt very unstable to me.
