That's true, Ddongbap, I experimented with "no bars" on my Miata. It can be done, and I liked it except for the spring rates being on the verge of "harsh". But, as was mentioned very early in this thread, it's a love it or hate it thing. Some people prefer a softer-sprung setup with stiff swaybars. And there are merits to that setup for street driving.

"why?", (dumbest forum handle ever, btw), yes the harshness in my setup is very noticeable. Big bumps are awful, and bumps in turns (when the outside rear wheel is in the air) make all kinds of racket due to the spring having no tension on it at all. All could be addressed with some fine-tuning, maybe progressive springs, maybe some rubber spring perch seats, etc. But, as it is, my setup is a little annoying on the street. The handling is outstanding, though!

Best thing you can do is read more, get a better understanding of how things work, and experiment carefully.
