you will notice no difference taking off or leaving it on unless you track your car. The Z's chassis is VERY rugged. I drove without one for almost a year since I couldnt stand the look of the stock one. I installed a Cusco which is more for show than anything else.

PS: Its not really a strut bar since it isnt attached to the struts what so ever.

Yes its fine , It's better to have it on, so the front chassis is stiffer

After I put on my Motordyne spacer I've had the front strut bar off for 5k miles now. Its been fine. There IS a difference but not for daily driving. I took my other car out on the salt flats and the bars did make a difference.
