Question on running no front swaybar

okay so im doing some research on suspension as im trying to do a little overhall on suspension mods before anything else now.
My only mods to suspension are Dmax coilovers.
I am trying to get whiteline adjustable swaybars as i heard the closer to stock size the better.
Would it be better if i only run rear sway bar and no front swaybar?
By doing this the rear end will lose grip faster and the front will grip more....and if i put lets say some federal in the rear shouldnt it balance out?
Wouldnt this be an ideal setup for auto-x or touge but bad for drifting?

your anti-sway bar is a spring that reduces body roll. Ideally for a sports car, you want as thick of an anti-sway bar as possible, and the softest spring combo.

Having a stiffer rear and softer front will result in over steer. Many road racing 240s run a bar up front and no bar in the rear to get a more neutral steering.

Do it all the time, it gets knocked off by pot holes. Whiteline sucks for really low s13's. Trust me, drives like shit with out a sway bar in the front.

i run no sway in the front right now due to my ls2 pan not clearing well the stock sway.

it sucks, takes more driver effort to fight oversteer; luckily i adjusted very quick. i will be putting sway back on as soon as i make a custom one.

as far as drifting with no front sway, you get a lot of oversteer and snap steer. definitely not neutral bias, which is what you want ideally for drifting. fairly gay but you could adjust to it eventually like i did.

best is a subjective term.

Race cars adjust their sway bars and suspension settings all the time to achieve a most preferable turning characteristics. No one can tell you how your car feels. If your a skilled driver, go out and drive it in an empty parking lot or clear back roads and judge it for yourself. If not, it is most likely just a street car and these things wont matter too much.
