How many of you A2 drivers are running a front sway bar? I am thinking of removing mine to soften the front and increase traction.

Thank you gentlemen. This is on my TSD car so it does see quite a bit of tarmac. But in the end I think that removing the front bar will be a good compromise.

Front sway bar = extra useless weight to accerate and stop.

Granted it helps if you have a good set of struts before you remove it.
