Default Need some suspension input

I have a few questions for the experts here about my future suspension mods. I plan on putting the s-line suspension on my TT. Due to the terrible condition of the roads around my area I don't want to drop it further than that. I will be using forge tie bars for getting the alignment back into spec. I am assuming that 1/2 kmac would offer no benefit other than adjustability. Also 18"'s either RGR's or SL's. I am trying to decide if I would like to put a rear swaybar on. I have done a bunch of searches, and it seems that neuspeed is the only swaybar out there.

Question 1: does anyone else make a rear swaybar for the tt besides neuspeed? I can't seem to find any.
Question 2: would it work with my planned suspension mods in terms of reducing understeer. Without making things too hairy? (I am an experienced drive and prefer neutral/oversteer)
Question 3: What is the stock rear swaybar diameter?
Question 4: Are there any options for the front swaybar, or is the stock one sufficient?
Question 5: What is the stock front swaybar diameter?

TIA! BTW it's an '01 225 QC

Default you'll have all the adjustment you need from the Forge arms

the stock diameter is 15mm. neuspeed is 19mm. H&R is doing an adjustable one that will be larger. Hotchkis has a front and rear combo out. the stock is suffice unless you think the car is neutral enough and you really want the car flatter in the corners. with the suspension you add, plus the rear bar your car won't become hairy. it becomes what they should of made from the factory.

Default Sweet, thanks for the testimonial. btw your car is so hot....

I love the TT in white, and I have yet to see one in person. btw since you have 19" wheels, how are the roads in your area? I am a little concerned with even considering 19's with how bad the are around here. It's my daily so I have to make sure it still has a decent amount of drivability.
