I think Racing Beat offers an adjustable rear anti-sway bar, which would be the most flexible bar (no pun intended) for finding the correct ratio of front to rear bar stiffness for a balanced car.
But I've also read that the stock FD doesn't need any kind of suspension work to have neutral handling. What exactly is your car doing to give you the impression of needing to upgrade your anti-sway bars?

Go with a stiffer spring/strut combo first.
If that doesent help, try getting a larger front sway bar. Even getting reinforced mounts helps stiffen things up. I believe widefoot makes the mounts. The stock rear bar is fine (if you want to add the stiffer mount that would help)
This is my Opinion, but the car handles neutrally already, not much needs to be corrected IMO.
