I hope to tune this out with the stiffer front sway bar. Today I ordered the same TMS set linked by the OP. It's not much more expensive to get front and rear as opposed to getting just the front, so I will try with both, and then disconnect the rear and see which setup I prefer.

The pics below (on stock suspension and stock ride height) show what I feel is too much roll. There is about 3.5" of difference between the loaded unloaded sides. I'd like to see more like 1.5". I'll post back in early December once tested on the track. Hopefully I am as happy with the change as the OP! After that I'll look at RTAB/L's.
Why are you so concerned with roll?

You need body roll in order to transfer weight and get power down. If you make the car too stiff, you'll end up reducing grip
