So, what it comes down to is figuring out what you mean by "more stable", but breaking down the car's actions and what you don't like about them and when (like what kind of input makes it happen). A front bar being bigger might help.

ill do a quick dodge the rock in the raod and the front feels planted, but the rear feels like there could be more control

Suspensions have many parts. Each works in conjunction with others, and one change breeds others. Bars are about body roll and balance. Shocks are about transition and stability. A bar change can warrant a shock change, and vice-versa but the basic jobs are different.

Z28/Forumula bar is 30mm, SS/WS6/1LE is 32mm. Mine is 35mm in front.
The Turbo kit you have is problematic. In fact I have a customer having this problem, but he also had it with the stock bar. In short, it's APS's issue if the piping won't even clear the front bar that is OEM on every car built.

The problem with shimming the bar down like they want to do is this: It puts the swaybar in closer proximity to the tie-rod end, and I have seen bars hit tie-rods and the tie-rod bends. In fact a shorter end-link will make this worse as you shim the bar down.
