I would leave it on!

howdy dave. hey do they make a kit to put it back on or an upgrade to a better or stiffer setup. the little clamp pieces were wasted with rust so i cut them off and threw them away along with the nasty rubber.

Throw it away leaving it off will give you a softer ride and less harsh over bumps by letting the front wheels work separately like a bump hit with right front wheel is not transferd to the left side by the bar but if you are going to road race leave it on.

David,
What would be the reason for leaving it on? I took mine off, and my car seems to handle just fine. I don't drive fast and hard, so maybe that's why my car still drives good.

It controls the roll tendencies in corners, but it is a personal choice.
