What are the benifits of having a front sway bar and the benifits of not having one?

 

The benifits are when you do a hard corner turns the front tire will be planted on the ground with min. body roll. Also if you removing it can can help your 60ft times at the track.

 

I trashed mine and I am happy with it. But it is not a corner carver by anymeans.

I would suggest you pull off your endlinks and zip tie your sway bar so it won't flop around just to see how you like it. I wanted max straight line traction so I took mine off.

 

Well, it's a trade off. A very stiff front sway bar, like I have (Suspension Technique's 35mm solid bar), will make a HUGE, HUGE improvement in handling. It can also hurt your launch because it doesn't allow the front end to come up as easily and transfer the weight to the rear. I love the trade off though.

The stiffer sway bar reduces body roll, and it also helps with camber control.

I would never consider running without a front swaybar on the street. The few pounds you save would not be worth the increase in body roll. My 32 mm front swaybar is one of my favorite mods.
