Default rear suspension issues, Need help!

hello i am haveing a few issues with my rear suspension, ill first list the aftermarket suspension parts i have installed to my car:

Car: 01 SS with Forged built motor, Procharged 740 RWHP "street car"

Front: "all stock" even the springs with Koni single adjustaible shocks, UMI K member.

Rear: UMI adjustable in middle LCA and PHB, with all poly ends, Koni shocks and a 1 5/16th Spohn rear sway bar, IMOP a POS,

the car rides like crap altho is stays straight with 5,000-5,500 Pulls,

i DONT like the harsh ride that the Spohn drag sway bar has ,

question is if i switch over to a Strano 22mm or optional bigger 1" hollow sway bar will the car still stay srtaight getting on it at a slow roll??

and how much better will a 22 or 1" bar ride on the street.

I only use my car for weekend crusing and some street draging. I might take her to the track for some 1/4 times here and there but the car is not a track car.

any help or if you ride on the strano hollow bars let me know
