For a daily driver street car would it be ok to remove my rear sway bar and if so how would this affect my car?

It's the front you want to remove if any. I removed mine and it transferes weight to the rear much better, and actually balances the suspension more, so the rear doesn't tend to kick around so much easier.

If you remove the rear sway bar, it will just dive to the right when you hit the gas, especailly with your HP/TQ ratings, make launches more unstable, all over suck. Most racers drag or street like a really tight rear end, that is why most drag cars have anti-roll bars in the back.

Thanks. Would this be the same if I had a set of race lower control arms? What I am considering doing is buying a set of race lowers form maximum motorsports with no rear sway bar mount? So with these would it still cause the car to pull one way?

yes it is, but drag racers dont really use anti-sway bars, they are for turning.

that's not entirely true. drag racers do use a rear anti roll bar to keep the chassis square to the ground. this helps plant both rear tires as opposed to just the left one. the diff here is that drag bars are extremely rigid so they aren't the same type you would use for the street/autox.
