ARB advice needed

Can someone inpart their advice please......I have rebuilt my Westfield Megablade over the winter ready for the new race season in RGB. In setting up the ride height and corner weighting, i discovered the old shocks & springs were u/s so a new set of Pro comp double adjustable shocks were installed on 250lb springs (all round).
When i went to install the fronts, the shock tops foweled the Westfield Anti Roll bar set up so it was removed with a view to replacing it later with a more bespoke arrangement.
Having done a fair bit of research now, i have managed to get totally confused as to weather or not i actually need an anti roll bar at all, as the consensus seems to lean towards the fact that they are only used to "fine tune" roll & pitch of the car.
So i guess the question is a) should i replace the front ARB b) should i run with no ARB's front & rear c) leave the rear connected and no front d0 just set the car up using the bump & rebound adjustments only (help there too please!)

Really confused..HEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!

Hi Matt,
Purchased through Andy at AB...They are the ones you had to supply the 1" longer top mounts for about a month ago. What can you offer for the front end as Brands is looming up fast. Was going to make one from scratch but can't get any 1/2" Dia. EN47 Bar. Seems to be like rocking horse S**t or cost an arm & a leg.
