I have the Hotchkis bars and I got tired of greasing the front sway bushings. So, one day I took off the front and found the ride was much better. I think I lost a bit of steering tightness and response but it was a small lose given the huge improvement in ride suppleness. I've tracked the car with OEM front and Hothckis rear sways and she handled great. So that's how I've been living with things now.
