ES has a front swaybar no strutbar. We are making a front strut bar that is FAR BETTER than the GTS bar so you will be fine. Should have it in a couple weeks.

RRM is selling the REAR sway bar. Stock ES bar is 18mm. So yes, you should replace yours.
Strut bar can be bought at the dealership or used from a GTS owner. When I get the RRM front strut bar, I'll probably sell my stock strut brace.

This bar is 2 mm bigger than GTS and 4 mm bigger than ES. The point is our bar is adjustable so it will be a close handling fit for both models.

Alright, I should get a free bar from RRM for this, but I ran some numbers based off of the current sway bar thickness and the RRM aftermarket bar thickness...and I found that:
RRM's bar is 1.46 times stiffer than the stock bar on a GTS
And 2.23 times stiffer than the stock bar on an ES
Anys plans for a 24mm bar???

How exactly did you get those numbers?
Using my usual source, I get 123% (ES) and 46% (GTS) stiffer.
