    I'd still not do it on a daily driven car. But you should be fine.
    Beauty of it is,
    1. Take it off
    2. Drive it
    3. Leave it off or put it back on

    It's one of those things that's worth a shot right? Like plasti dip. It's always reversible.

    Like, I have a W114 Mercedes and the front and rears are coming off to get low as suggested by Mushroom_Toy with the Red W115 (Elvis) so ya id say its safe

    I like the idea of pink too for some ungodly reason, but im just a stupid teenager like you as well

    this thread needs more pics! invest in a camera if you don't have one. pictures make everything better
    Dude I fucking have a camera... Well... Had... I lost the damn thing in Guatemala haha. And even if I had a good camera, between school and working at the dealership I have almost no time. I barely find the time to work on my cars these days.

    Check out Team Dynamic Wheels. I know of a US supplier (Prefect Circle Autosports on Facebook) than can have them shipped from LA to you. They have a 18x9 in the Pro Race 1.2's. Plus four stock colors to choose from. Plus they are super light wheels. They're a low pressure cast wheel so they're also strong.

    Then do them pink to if you go for pink wheels. Color code is a needed step for a clean car.

    I would definitely dig pink. Pink on white (or vice versa) ROCKS!

    But even then, there's too much black on your car which makes it "unclean" again.

    Alright this may make me sound like an idiot, but bare with me, Im new to suspension. Is it ok to drive without endlinks? After taking a look at my suspension, the collar that attaches the endlink to the shock is almost 2 in! if I could pop that sucker out or maybe find a smaller collar, I could go mooaaarrr low in the front, with the spacers of course. Ive heard that it will sacrifice performance. I dont really care about performance. I want to know if its SAFE.
    I've been running without my front sway bar for 2 years with no issues. There are a lot of VW guys who also take them off.

    I had to get rid of mine due to some binding issues.

    It's sort of safe. As in, if you're going in a straight line. You will definitely notice the difference and your car will probably rock like a boat. But nothing will break and the wheels will stay on the car. So yeah. I guess it's safe.

    You can't just take the end links out though. You either need to tie the bar up and out of the way once they are off or just remove the entire sway bar.

    It is not uncommon to remove the sway bars on drag cars to reduce weight. I personally would not do this though. Just a preference thing I guess.
    It's perfectly safe. (In my mind, like I said, 2 years, 0 issues.)

    An anti-swaybar is just that, it prevents excessive dive when cornering. Since the OP is already on coils, which I would imagine have stiffer spring rated than stock, he can get away without running a swaybar. The stiffer springs will counteract removing the bar.

    I am running an upgraded swaybar in the rear (23 mm vs. the stock 14 mm bar) and I'd like to think my car handles pretty well.

    I see. If it makes it rock like a boat, would that affect my tire wear? Also, my car is a dd that does go over dips and bumps. Any forseen problems there? Thanks!
