Decision help - s14 Sway bar setup

Hey guys, i got a 98 s14 with rb25 motor and i use my car like twice a week from home to work and i drift it like 4 times a year.. i got a kw v3's coilovers with swift springs 9k front and 7k rear with no helper springs.. So my front oem sway bar hits the oil pan so im going to buy the whiteline adjustable front sway bar that clears the oil pan so my question is :

Do i need to buy the rear sway bar too or leave the stock one?

There is ppl telling to leave the stock because is better for drifting and ppl telling me that with the stiffer rear sway bar ill be the best option for drift.. And the guy from the performance shop told me to take the rear sway bar out and increase the rebound adjustment so im really confused right now..

If yes which brand do you guys recommend?

Thanks

I have a similar setup (KW V3, S14, RB25). I use the Tanabe Sustec front and rear swaybars. Front barely clears oil pan. I use the car for hpde and auto-x. No drifting. I liked the tighter feel of the car post install.

What about your end links?
Which spring rates are you using on your v3's? Do you use the helper springs?
Thanks dude..
