I used the upper and lower control arm kit with Pro Shocks provided by CRII shortly before they closed. They looked like the one in the lower picture by FWB. I used the strut arms and the sway bar. I'm not sure what to expect by removing the sway bar but I have been tempted to disconnect it to see what happens. I do not use a sway bar in the rear. I think my car handles pretty well although a little stiff. Big block so I have the stiffer spring weight in front. To my eye the strut rods look very strong geometrically and I see no reason to remove them. I see in the top picture by FWB there is a wider attachment of the control arm with the spring perch but there is also a gusset which I believe needs to be welded to the frame to replace the strut rod. Interesting post.

Does a car do better in the corners with some body roll? Maybe I don't understand the concept of sway bar technology.
