I have heard that doing this will help drastically in weight transfer to reduce spinning of the tires. Any truth to this? Thanks.

On a street car it helps a little but not as much as you would expect. Although it allows a bit more weight transfer, the stock type shocks prevent the front end from rising as much as it could.

The biggest advantage is the weight reduction off the front of the car. Third gens are very nose heavy.

i took mine off, like stephen said it removes weight and does allow the front to come up more shifting weight to the rear. i've never drove mine on the street so i'm not sure how it would handle.

Mine is currently off b/c I too wanted to see how it would be so I was going to disconnect the end links but the where frozen so I had to break them off. I then took off the bar completely. The launch difference as was said is not as much as you'd expect. The handling was also not as bad as I thought it would be without it but then again I didn't push it through corners. I'm sure if I did I would have noticed the difference.
