2000 Base 9-3 - Upgrade F&R Swaybars or just Rear?

I've done a few searches on this and haven't come up with much. I've seen several threads on upgrading the rear swaybar but very few on upgrading the front. So, here goes:
I was looking on http://www.genuinesaab.com and noticed that there was an upgraded front swaybar used in the 9-3SE. The product description http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=56_28&products_id=354 says that the Base front sway bar is 19mm, the Viggen is 22mm, and the SE is a 24mm.
Realizing that there's a fine balance between front/rear swaybars and the tendency to understeer/oversteer, I want to make sure that I'm picking up the right parts. The car will be a daily driver and my main goal is to have a balanced and safe vehicle that my wife will drive about 50% of the time. I guess my biggest concern is that upgrading the rear bar to the 22mm version without upgrading the front sway bar might give the car a tendency to oversteer.
Is anyone using the combo of a 24mm (stock in SE) front bar and the 22mm rear bar? Or, is there anyone out there with a Base model who's upgraded their rear swaybar? If you could include the sizes of your sway bars (front and rear) in your evaluation, that would be a huge help!
Thanks in advance!
