What do you want from the car? Swapping sway bars and having different adjustments will impact how the car will handle. It might introduce or prevent both understeer or oversteer.

Hotchkis front bar. It won't move around like the Whiteline does.

My vote would be the z1. Close to the hotchkiss in stiffness but has adjustability. Just my opinion but I’m not a fan of non adjustable bars as it defeats the purpose.

I would comment but everything on my car is not stock so I am not much help.

My front Hotchkis has been trouble/noise free for 6+ years now...

Best $150 I've thrown at this car!

Eibach front bar. It's adjustable. No issues after 10+ years. I grease the bushings on a regular basis. No matter which brand you choose to go with, I would recommend upgrading the factory endlinks to SPL links to handle the extra weight/stiffness.
