I drive my b14 without a front bar,and I love it.I keep the rear bar,because I autocross as well as daily driving,and I need the rotation.Now I've fiddled with spring rates over the years and came up with what works for me and no front bar.Bites harder on turn in,and really feels no less solid than with the bar on.Plus the bonus of dropping about 15lbs of bar and hardware.

No sway bars here. I never was big on the twisties but car handles fine

Take one of the end links off, drive it and see what you think. A big empty parking lot, far away from light poles, makes a good skid pad. If it's too loose for you, put the end link back on. If you like the way it handles. remove the bar all together and enjoy the weight savings. Pretty simple.

Be warned though, if you haven't had the endlink off in recent memory, it may be rusted on there. There's a real chance of it coming off in pieces.
