The base car does not have a rear sway bar. Myself and other have swapped in the Z51 sway bars, front and back, and it makes a world of difference.

Unless you are well schooled in suspension setup changing/adding one bar isn't going to buy you much and will probably upset the balance of the car.

Search on Z51 sway bar upgrade, for the money it's hard to beat and reviews on the results are overwhelmingly positive.

I think Lou Gilloti sells adjustable swaybars and can probably give advice, also. I like the idea of an adjustable bar especially on the rear since if you go too stiff you'll have an oversteering car.

I did the upgrade to the Z51 bars. Very happy with it. Straight line ride seems the same as before the swap, but cornering is noticeably flatter. The base front sway bar is hollow. The Z51 bars are solid. Make sure you change both.
