For a given spring rate, swaybars will increase that springs rate during lateral weight shifts. F-body's have live rear axels, and changes to which are done to balance what you do in the front IMO.
No... you can't swap swaybars. For handling, larger bars in the front will help steering response, brake dive and slower roll rates. If you have a NON SS/WS6 you went from a 30mm hollow to a 32mm solid, and you'll notice those imrovements. Less so if you already had the SS/WS6 32mm hollow bar. Removing the front bar, will result in a rear bias car, good for the strip, bad for the street (tail happy).

Generally you are better off sticking with the stock bar in the rear, unless you are auto-xing and have a good stock/spring setup. By adding the larger bar with a otherwise stock suspension it tends to push the rear of the car outward and tends to get loose/tail happy on the street.
Do a search and youll find several posts from Sam Strano about this, hes the suspension man and knows his stuff.
