Default Afe sway bars ? On Z51

Anyone running afe sways or aftermarket sway bars on a Z51 ?
even in track mode with mag ride car seems twitchy from left to right on track was wondering if upgrading sway bars would help on this platform.

coming from a C6z with upgraded bars, it was significant improvement.

I haven't but know of folks that have. Their setups were different than mine (lowered, aftermarket coilovers, etc). I run stock setup suspension wise. I don't find any twitchy behavior on the track. I run the GM track alignment except zero toe front and back. I'd verify your alignment is on point.
