Ive been running without mine for well over a year. No neg affects at all. On the positive side the car feels and steers a little nicer. I track mine as well as beaing a road car so its had a good thrashing without the c frame on

The U frame doesn't hold the radiator in, nor does it alter the handling.
It is simply an additional crash protection system.
Ditch it is my advice, but if you plan on having a head on crash at some point keep it.
