im sure its been posted before but i was wondering if its worth it to have it perminately disconnected and how much does it restrict you? What cant you do? who has done it and what do you think?

There are lots of opinions on this, great for weight reduction and weight transfer in drag racing, loss in handling though on the street. Deponding on your set up, may be severe, may not be! [patriot]

Remove the end links at the track only for weight transfer. if you like the handling on the street keep it on. If this is not an issue remove it and throw it in the garage.

I removed mine with no issues. I can't carve corners now but I have had no problems in my everyday driving.

It's so much better with the sway bar on. I had my sway bar off for a while when my end links broke and couldnt stand it.

If your all drag then remove it, that damn thing is heavy! [Eek!]

Yes it would, but find out for yourself, it takes 10 minutes to remove and to install. Just take it off for a few days....see how you like it...
