Keep the sway bars. If you don't have one in the rear, stick one back there. The difference in handling is amazing. Dropping the car will make it handle even better. You'd miss it if it were gone.

i've heard a few people say that they bind if you lower the car.

The factory F41 swaybars complement a 2" drop very well. You may be thinking that poly bushings bind (and you'd be right, in certain instances). Sway bars won't bind. My SS is lowered with Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks and the car handles great on the street with the stock SS swaybars.
