I don't believe anyone makes an aftermarket front swaybar. saab reengineered the front suspension in '95 to address customer complaints of wheel shimmy and poor road holding. The later suspension can be fitted to the '94 and saab sells the pieces as a kit which includes new lower control arms, radius arms ,swaybar ,all the fasteners and such. If you do that mod it's also the time to install the Abbott VRK since all the same pieces will be apart. It's a bit of work to install as the front subframe must come down to swap the swaybar.
If the handling condition your mechanic described is understeer and it's considered a problem rumour is that the viggen front bar is softer than the SE one so that would reduce your understeer. Viggen bar will only fit with later style front suspension.
Koni front shocks and stock rear shocks are probably not the best setup, adding the konis to the rear will help quite a bit. Stiffer springs will also improve the handling.
