Default How much difference will changing from 26.8mm to 30mm front swaybars?

I currently have 350lb front springs with adjustable Koni shocks as well as 30mm rear torsions with adjustable Koni shocks. My front sways are from a 951s with 26.8mm front and 18mm rear sway bars. I am thinking about upgrading to 30mm front sways. How much of a difference will that make on my car? What are the advantages and disadvantages? I don't want to shell out the money for Weltmeister adjustables.

A stiffer front sway bar will create less body roll, but will also understeer more.

I ran 400lbs front with 30mm effective rate hollow t/b in the back on my 944S2. I used MO30 sways on the front with 22 mm adjustable Welt on the back. That was a nice and balance set up with 245/45/16 tires on all 4 corners. You should match the front and rear sways. So, if you use MO30 on front, you also need them in the back.
