I'm about to order a poly bush kit for a gsi anti roll bar,tie bar,bottom arms i planned on fitting to my corsa which is being converted to a 20xe after the winter but iv been told to do away with the anti roll bar altogether as it's not needed.

Is this safe & what the pro's & con's of doing this?

Really that much difference between a sport & combo one?

I have a gsi one which is a little thicker than my original breeze one.

Personnaly i don't really like the idea of running the car without one.

Just wouldn't feel safe for some reason not having one on.

Must be a reason for having them fitted surely and for the gsi one to be a touch thicker than other models.

are you wanting the car to handle well like?

be best of getting a good rear arb and doing away with the front all together providing you've got good front suspension

YES true...but ever sport,gsi ect was fitted with one and with a 2.0 lump in a small car it's going to need a thicker one.

I found turn in at lower speeds a bit better with out the ARB, but pretty unstable at high speed, and under heavy braking. I'd say fit one, IMO it's better with one fitted.
