front sway bar???

i'm about to put on a rear sway bar. i'm currently on d2 coilvoers with 9/7 spring rate n have an otto front strut bar. the rear sway bar i have is addco. but the only thing is i heard that the sway bar makes you slide out in the back. and can be dangerous with aftermarket suspension setups. this is basically what i want to know. if the limit of my car going around a turn is 50mph , meaning 51 mph will cause me to slide out. will adding the sway bar cause me to slide out before 50mph or later?? I posted this in the 4th gen, and a fellow orger told me that they do make links that help people that have a rear sway bar with coilovers. the problem is i don't know where to find or buy them. and i don't know what is good or not...thanks!!

You're pretty close to the E-town facility, right? Get the bar, put it on, air up your tires a bit, and take it to a NNJR autocross. You'll get to drive it harder than you should ever dare to on public roads, in lower gears for the speed that you're travelling (which can aggravate rear "looseness" if you're not paying attention). Even if you do end up looping it for whatever reason - no big deal other than some tire life just went up in smoke.
