Should I get thicker sway bars when I do my coilovers?
How hard is it to install the front sway, because I read before it is a pain.

Front sway is a pain. Warmup with some pilates and yoga first. Hint: drop the right ball joint at the outboard end of the a-arm.
Cheap and cheerful approach is an M030 front sway and a rear euro turbo sway. Do a search, there's tons on this. Matched with coilovers IMHO this is fine for street use and occasional DEs.
If you're seriously tracking the car or simply want more adjustability you may want the RS bars (5 hole front, 3 hole rear), but keep in mind that they're a) stupidly expensive and b) I believe the rear bars are currently listed as NLA - which given Porsche's usual pattern with parts for our cars means a wait of several/many months.

Thank you. Will I notice a diffrence switching out front and rear bars?
How much bigger are they then the stock ones?
Also, There is a bolt in the Lower rear suspension arm on the drivers side that always gives me trouble.
it is the arm that bolts to the bottom of the shock and goes to the crossmember, it is the crossmember side where it gives me a problem. I cant get it out because the rear sway bar & Heat exchanger are in the way. is there a way around this? there are no pics of that bolt in the suspension diy.
