Default Handling: Custom anti-roll bar? Also, any point adding a rear swaybar to a car with a rear strut bar

hey guys, i got my strut bars installed yesterday front and rear, and i do feel a bit of a difference, quicker response for sure, im still running on shitty 180/70/14 stock tires since i just got this car a couple months ago my next handling mod would be tires/rims, however im wondering how hard is it to make a custom anti-roll bar? just a thich piece of tubing and weld/bolt it onto 2 points of the chassis? for example below the rear strut bar right on the floor of the trunk?

Also now that i have a rear strut bar, will addin an aftermarket rear swaybar make a huge difference? Thanks guys!

That's not an anti-roll bar, dude.

Strut bars don't make a whole lot of difference, and a thicker rear sway bar (also called anti-roll) bar will make a big difference in body roll.

if you can't tell the difference between an anti-roll bar from a strut bar, you are not ready to make any suspension change, let alone making suspension part
