Change the rear first, if you haven't done so already. Adding a thicker front sway bar without changing the rear will make the car push like a dump truck.

That being said, the front sway bar should be easier to change than the rear.

Actually the front is much more of a PITA. You have to drop the front sub frame, disconnect your steering column input (whatever the official name is), and unbolt your rear motor mount. The rear is simply dropping the sub-frame, can be done in garage, BUT ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
I'm having 26mm front and rear sway bars, rear diff lock down, and rear control arm bushings installed next weekend (my rear camber is at like -2.5* right now from coilover install, not entirely comfortable, haha).
