Copentrey - one of the advantages of adjustable sta-bars (short for "stabilizer bars", which is the real part name for these things) is that they will allow you to tune the car to your preference (if the front end seems to "push" too much, stiffen the rear bar or soften the front, if it's tailhappy or "loose", take some adjustment out of the rear bar or stiffen the front).
They'll also allow some room for growth, both for the car as you continue to modify its
suspension as well as for you as a driver. BTW, don't underestimate that second one. If you're inclined to "play" a bit through the corners you can spend the rest of your life getting better at it.
I do happen to have adjustable sta-bars at both ends of my '08 GT (Sam Strano's, FWIW). I've adjusted the rear one once (to full firm), and the front not at all (mid setting), but that's all subject to change if I ever get around to swapping springs - which will almost certainly change the handling balance a bit. I might even end up springing for a slightly heavier adjustable rear bar that has only recently become available.
If you go much stiffer with the bars or their settings than OE (and particularly if you swap in stiffer springs), you'll want to upgrade the shocks and struts. The OE dampers will still work, just not as well as they won't be able to provide the same amount of damping relative to the spring or bar stiffnesses. You may or may not notice the ride becoming just a little "float-ier" than before under some conditions, or a slight change in cornering behavior if you keep the OE springs/shocks.
Let's just say that even though I don't do this
suspension stuff as a day job, I've been at it a lot longer than either my membership here or my post count might be suggesting.

hard. On stiffest setting now, so When I get a chance, Ill take it on an off ramp and see how it handles before I make a decisino to loosen it.
