Is taking off the rear sway bar worth it? I'm really not sure of the problems and the rewards anyone willing to fill me in?

This is posted all over the place on this and many sites. It will add some flex and you will not notice much on the road diff. I have mine removed as do many others on here. Its not like the front. The front is not a good idea to remove and drive on the street but the rear is ok. Alot of cars dont even come with rear ones.

yes. no problems just half hour out of your day. better flex, supposedly better turning radius, will not affect handling at all.

it's not needed. it doesnt affect handling on road but gives better flex off. just like the front. but the front is needed.
