you might not be drifting right, if you are a noob at drifting then a sway bar isn't going to help you. learn how to drive the car.

There is a DRIFTING forum on nico, incase you didn't know, but like already stated, sway bars are deffinately not that important. My car drifts like crazy with no understeer, and my front sway bar isn't connected. But i also have coilovers.

you should be able to drift bone stock.

you might want to figure your car handling characteristics before modding ur car any futher to "drift faster"

You don't NEED bigger stabilizer bars, but many people DO get them.

On my first s14, there was not a factory bar in the rear. I bought a Cusco one for it to fix the problem. Immediatly after installing it and driving it, I could feel a big difference. The rear of the car feels more solid. Before that, the rear can twist and flex all over the place. After, when I would take just simple turns around street corners, the rear seemed more solid and "flat".

If I could make a suggestion for you, I would pick up a set of Tanabe bars. They are a good size and a good price. The car will feel more solid overall.

Of course, you will need practice no matter what parts happen to be on your car.

unlike the other dorks in here, I DO suggest you get some bigger bars.

just make sure you have them, thats all that matters. ive been running on stock sways for years and while i would like larger ones i know its not a necessity and there are other things that should be upgraded before them.
