.....and wheels too. Haha. Ya, you've got your priorities straight.
I don't think you need the front sway bar, only the rear one from all that I have read. The Progress one is thicker than the Eibach one.

Yup, just get the rear if you want the car to handle better. The front will make it understeer even worse and cancel out the improvements from the upgraded rear.

EDIT: The car will corner flatter but not necessarily better with the front.
 
Get the Progress 22mm bar. The difference in the size of swaybars is the sum of squares. The Progress bar is a 34% increase over the 19mm,

The rear is 19mm.

You might as well just get the rear 20mm 2014 Si rear sway bar that only costs $40.

im getting the rear sway bar from eibach. its cheaper. so i hope you guys are right on not needing the front upgraded.

The front absolutely does not need upgraded, but you should really consider the 22mm Progress over the smaller Eibach.

im thinking of getting the godspeed 24mm rear. its bigger than both progressive and eibach

Progress makes a 24mm that comes with adjustable endlinks. From what I hear, the endlinks aren't all that great though. If there RSB is anything like their camber arms, I would avoid it. Progress has a really strong reputation. 22mm is ideal for a 2012. Any bigger and the handling could be a bit touchy at higher speeds.
 
The 19mm Eibach rear sway bar is cheaper than the $40 2013+ 20mm Si rear sway bar?
 
Godspeed is known for replicating other parts and they tend to fail, from turbos to intake manifolds to suspension parts etc. And their 24mm rear sway bar is the exact replica as Progress' 24mm. Godspeed's quality is the absolute worst. They don't use the proper material or material grade for the more critical components.

I've seen people post broken endlinks where the ball stud would break (improper grade/not cold forged). As well as the middle shaft of the adjustable endlink breaking and disconnecting. I'd expect the Godspeed sway bars to snap due to using the incorrect spring steel and improper anti-corrosion coating (rust).

I'd recommend the 20mm bar for an overall best value. Ditch the Godspeed sway bar.
 
Progressive it is. i looked at there site. and its only like $10 more than godspeed but looks a whole lot simple.than the adjustable godspeed.
 
Progress has them in both sizes (22mm and 24mm). Godspeed replicated the adjustable 24mm with the adjustable endlink.
