Sway bar advice

Can you offer some product advice?
I am doing road course events thus far, and have made a couple of changes to my stock RX8. I am looking at sway bars and adjustable links. You have some choices for bars.
I put in coilovers 450-front and 337-rear sping rates. I also added a rear shock tower bar and some better brake pads. I had the car lowered (about 1 inch in front, and less in the rear) and corner weighted. (Now the stock links are too tall - in the rear especially.)
The car turns in very well now. Corner entry is great. It is very stable through APEXand starts pushing on exit under full acceleration, as the front end unloads.
The car is pretty neutral overall, and I do not want to change this dramatically. My goal is to reduce the body roll while not drastically effecting the understeer/oversteer. (maybe tune out a LIITLE of the understeer, if possible) .
Can you make some sway bar recommendations?
Thanks.
