I've removed the front swaybar while leaving the rear, and removed the rear swaybar while leaving the front. From experience I can say the car can't handle speed without swaybars if you have oem or similarly soft suspension. I bought the front and rear "soft" sway bars from Cusco. The front bar is a hollow 16mm instead of a stock solid 18mm, and the rear is a hollow 14mm instead of a solid 14mm. The front is 79% as hard as stock, and the rear is 73% as hard as stock. Then I stiffened up my coilover's preload to compensate. Now I'm definitely feeling slop in the subframe chassis mounts, so I'll be installing "Spoon Ridgid Collar" sleeves on all the affected mounts to firm up the chassis. But if you want a really good ride, you'll have to add springs to the seat itself. It's got all the suspension and shock-absorbing ability of a futon.
