Slicks. Perform a lot better on lightly to non-prepped surfaces.

I removed the front bar completely. Drag Alignment, Works nice!

Do you drive on the street at all?

Curious about this as well ^^^^^

Also curious as to what method you guys are using to pull the front sway bar off. I know some have mentioned the motor mount bolts have to come out or cutting the bar in half but I'm thinking there has to be a better way.

To remove the strut bar you have to loosen up the motor mounts and raise the engine about 2 inches. That'll give you enough room to remove the bar or install it. Some people just disconnect the endlinks and wire them up in place where they won't move. Gives the same effect as taking it off except for the weight loss

Mine came out without cutting or removing anything.... Just need to jack it up high enough and get creative twisting it on the way out.

Cut mine in half and threw it out. I drive on the street no problems, on skinnies so its not going to handle anyway though

I'd avoid driving in the wet, though. That's when those skinnies would have the good grip . . .

I have DD'd with no front sway bar and skinnies. Just have to use common sense.
