Default sway bar endlinks?

im happy with the way my car rides now, but want a little more out of it. I was thinking about doing a sway bar upgrade, but would i need to do the front or the rear? should i maybe just do the endlinks instead? and if so, just the front or the rear or both?
i've heard and read that if you do one, you could increase oversteer/understeer. i wanna keep that the same, but just make it stiffer for cornering.

I have the SLP front and rear sway bars. I think the kit came with new end links and poly bushings. I had a shop order them and install them. They did add to the handling quite a bit. I don't remember how much they cost, maybe around $100 each and $100 to install. Not much help, am I? But anything you do will help, and I would recommend doing the front and rear, and not just one or the other.

Front Sway Bar End Links
I've been reading up on these and the consenses is they are the cause (maybe) of the dreaded front end rattle, or clunking. It seems that most peeps with mileage over 25,000 or peeps that have changed sway bars are expriencing this rattle at low speed and slight bumps. In the Mercedes forum they are describing it too on the C class cars. Hmmmm

Is there an after market solution to the front sway bar end links? I am looking for something a lot tighter or adjustable to permanantly cure this problem. Yes, I do have the rattle or clunking and my car only has 4000 miles on it. It started shortly after my changing out to the Hotchkis TVS sway bars.
