Anyone else remove the STB?

The way I was taught--in a street car there's so much else in the suspension that is moving (read: rubber bushings) the STB makes no difference in overall rigidity.

So to add in here, it appears from the video of the Camaro that the bar is only deflecting 2mm across the entire front end. That really isn't much movement at all and it appeared that the movement was more from twist of the engine box rather than inward or outward forces on the top of the strut towers. Looks like it isn't really needed to me.

Had to remove mine to make room for the VMP supercharger. I feel no differance.

So I guess the VMP Supercharger was a waste of money?! I would think that would make a HUGE difference!!! Just goofing with ya.

I think that it all depends on the use of the car.
If you run slicks or R tires at the track the forces are much greater and I would not run without it.
On the street with street tires its way less of an issue.
