Always replace the sway bars (front and rear) as a set, unless you know what you're doing. Stiffer sway bars will alter the handling dynamics of the car.
Stiffer rear sway bar will increase the understeer tendency of the car. So if you overdo it, your car's rear end may catch up with the front under some braking and drop-throttle situations.

100% Especially considering the back end of the TL is already fairly neutral with the slight tendency to swing out in any thing over 8/10ths driving.

hmmm so then the thick progress bar may not be what we need? somthin like the CT or eibach bars that are a little thinner? cuz im definetly not tryna crash! For those of you who have the progress bar do you think that it makes the understeer increase a substantial amount to the point where its dangerous or it just keeps the car from swayin everywhere?

Thanks for the correction. My fingers aren't following my mind these days !

Here are some 2G TL/TL-S aftermarket sway bar thickness numbers for your reference :
Suspension Technique = front - 22.2mm, rear - 19mm.
CompTech = front N/A, rear - 22mm.
Eibach = front - 27mm, rear - 23mm.
H&R = front - 26mm, rear - 22mm.
Neuspeed = front 27mm, rear - 19mm.
Now you tell me if the 24mm rear bar only is overdoing it or not.
Suspension Technique = front - 22.2mm, rear - 19mm.
CompTech = front N/A, rear - 22mm.
Eibach = front - 27mm, rear - 23mm.
H&R = front - 26mm, rear - 22mm.
Neuspeed = front 27mm, rear - 19mm.
