Handling wise the car is completely different you would definitely need much stiffer springs to do this since body roll increases dramatically which also causes turn in to suffer. The car also developed a pretty bad tenancy to oversteer when lifting off and applying the brakes it was easily controllable but it kept me from keeping the car on the edge of grip. The main benefit to removing the front bar was the insane amount of grip available on corner exit, I've been so used to the inside tire spinning I wasn't trusting the car was going to have grip available when I got on it but it held on each and every time.

It takes a lot of spring rate, and even more rebound in your shocks to pull that off.

If your car has the 24mm front try and locate a 23mm, helps with rotation and getting power down, but its not as big of a leap as pulling the bar.
