VDC front strut vibration damper

I was scouring bimmercat and noticed a vibration damper attached to VDC front struts when equipped with Run-flat tires.

My car came equipped with runflats but have since been replaced with non runflats.

I decided to remove the dampers on both sides, saving about a pound per strut.
I then proceeded to take the car on a long test drive at various speeds. No difference noticed.
