Warning for those with new rear sway bars...
This may not be needed, but I figured better safe than sorry. If you are unfamiliar with how your car is going to handle after installing a rear sway bar, be cautios. With a much stiffer rear, you need to be careful about it becoming tail happy. One thing you'll notice is much more throttle lift oversteer. What I mean is if you are going into a turn too fast DO NOT just let off the throttle, you'll likely induce a nice fast oversteer (spin). Be careful until you get to know your car again, it WILL be a different beast...

Funny you should say that, mine is on the way!
I put a 4k quattro bar up front and man what a difference! By far the biggest bang for your buck performance wise!

Have you priced . . .
. . . either Ferraris or INSURANCE for Ferraris lately?
At least with my Audis I don't have to worry too much about theft or vandalism, and the performance is adequate.
Additionally, I spent 7 years working in Formula 1 racing with ESPN. Spending silly on road-going cars is for poseurs . . .

ddg has the right idea
It may become tail happy without the front bar upgrade.
Put both bars on and you'll love it. Mine is not the least bit tail-happy, though I can get it to rotate a bit if I really try and it's very predictable.
