Default Sway bars and strut bar

Hey guys. I was wondering if you guys thought it was worth getting the hotchkis front and rear sway bars or the trd rear sway bar and hotchkis strut bar. i plan on getting the strut bar no matter what, but are the hotchkis sway bars worth getting since trd only offers a rear one? this may seem complicated, but i guess i am asking is does the front sway bar effect the car significantly

Since the TRD rear sway bar stiffens the back around 68% more than stock and the Hotchkis stiffens to a minimum of 273%, it would benefit you to stiffen the front as well. You can go with the TRD sway bar and not worry about oversteer.

He's saying that because the Hotchkis is such a stiffer bar over stock, you could run the risk of having your car break its tail loose a lot if you only used the rear sway without a stiffer front. The Hotchkis set sells as a set because you need both to keep things balanced.
