The car has a stock rear anti-sway bar; with a larger aftermarket one you should expect more oversteer, and slightly less body roll. You should not need one for street driving unless you are overly dangerous in your turns/;ane changes. I don't think that a thicker one would help me much at the track I go to (Talladega Grand Prix), but I think there would be some significant improvement in autocross.

You should definitely upgrade the rest of your suspension before/with the sway bar including new shocks, springs, sway bar endlinks, and bushings - dtss removal should stiffen the rear significantly if worn.

Only get one along with a stiffer front sway bar, otherwise it could really hurt the handling of the car. As mentioned, you should upgrade the rest of the suspention at the same time or before, too.
