You can weld on the braces from a "B4" 90 and use it's stock brace...
Or make yer own like I did!!
As far as sway bars go, I wouldn't go larger than the 4000q 26mm bar in front, these car already understeer like Satan!
What you need is a big bar in the rear, quadruple the spring rates and damping front and rear.
If you run huge bars with stock spring rates and damping, you'll totaly screw up the suspension setup. The shocks will see a huge disparity in spring rates from 2 wheel movement to 1 wheel movement..
Proper damping in one function, severly underdamped in the other!

Addco rear bar + 4kq front bar
I have this combo on my CGT. I had the Addco bar with the stock front bar and it was not great so I took it off. Later, I added the 4kq front bar and it was a major improvement. A few months later I put the Addco rear bar back on. Very nice. I got my Addco bar a long time ago. Not sure if they still are around or offer it. If you have the stock front bar, then definitely get a 4kq front bar before doing anything in the rear.

DW makes (made) a strut bar. Good luck finding one (NLA IIRC).
I did (hooray for Ebay.de), but I had it modded for my 4KQST since I am happy with the way my CGTT handles already.
Here is the DW rear in my 4KQST -

And the front too -
