Sway bar for 535ix

I know we can use m5 sway bar for the front, but has anyone looked into rear sway bar for 535ix f10?

Will 550 rear sway bar fit? Is it better then 535's sway bar or is there an aftermarket rear sway bar for 535ix?

To maintain proper handling shouldn't both stabilizer bars at the same time??

I have read all over the place about people putting in m5 front sway bars.

I also read somewhere about 550d rear sway bar for 535 but cant seem to find it anymore, though i would hear someone from here about their experience on this.

I found rear sway bar from Dinan on Amazon. I am wondering M5 front and Dinan rear sway bar should also be a good setup.

Yeah I think you can go thicker in their rear, bigger than 550. Without throwing the rear end out on high speed turns. Tires play a big role too
