Default 62 Catalina Sway Bars

I think it's a safe bet a 62 Catalina won't be winning any road races in the near future. However, with my car now running a proper power level engine, cornering like a beached whale is a little scary at times. I have read many threads in this forum about rear sway bars for these cars. I think I have settled on a 1" bar for the rear that attaches to the lower control arms and is out of the way of exhaust and shocks. Just have to box the lower arms. That leaves the spaghetti sized 7/8" front sway bar. I haven't found ANY alternative bars for the front at all. Also no discussion of this topic. Is anyone doing anything up front on these cars? Seems a 7/8" bar on the front and 1" bar on the rear would not give the best balance. The rear steering geometry would dictate a smaller bar would be OK, but a 7/8" bar on a 4000 lb. plus car seems extra tiny. Comments, suggestions, part numbers? Thanks
