If you are going to stay with stock tires, springs, and shocks/struts, go with the 25mm front sway bar and the 22mm rear sway bar. Both are much stiffer than stock, but with this combo (front and rear), the car will not be "too loose... where the rear end wants to pass you in a turn". The 25/22 combo radically reduces body roll in the turns and improves weight distribution in said conditions for increased traction.

If you just up the size/diameter of the front sway bar and don't touch the rear, you will create a "tight/understeer" condition where the car wants to go straight in a turn due to the front wheels skidding along.

Upgrading both the front and the rear bars at the same time help ensure a vital handling balance, especially when the road is slick or wet.
