Default Need input on rear supention set up

I have a 95 eg coupe ex things you will need to know about the current set up are

Ksport full coilovers 11k front /10k rear
Full energy poly kit with trailing arm bushings
Type R front sway bar ( needs to be installed but have)
Ls rear disk brakes and sway bar 1/2 in
Wight is 2600 or less depending on what I have in the trunk

What I'm asking for really is what size swaybar should I use on the rear of the car because there are so many choices. The car is my dd and I have done a little research on the subject. I just don't want it to become to tail happy because I added to big of a sway bar. I haven't got into any kind of raceing as of yet beside going down the 1/4 mile a few times i was looking into autox but really more in to higher speed road courseing events love country road around where I live. Just some imput would be nice from such a big committee would be awesome

It will already be "tail happy", due to what I bolded.

Why not drive it, and then see how much you want to change the handling, if any?

I do drive it everyday and I have drove it pretty hard at high speeds and low speed corners on the streets and to me it could still be better because if I turn it real hard it still pushes in some sharp corners like it did when I had stock/eBay coils and new shocks just not as dramatic and takes a lot more effort but it could also be my driveing style could use some work also the car is not super low it still has a desent among of fender gap but I don't want to go lower because I will start a hitting stuff on the street
