Default question for suspension gurus - sway bars

I am breaking in my '04 coupe with factory 19s and, though the grip is impressive, the body roll in corners is noticeably worse than my old E36. I don't plan on tracking the car, just hard street driving - and the car is leased, so don't want to go hog wild on suspension mods.

Which sways (and what sizes F & R) would you guys recommend to yield flatter cornering? I plan on going to 245 & 275 PS2s when my OEM Pilots wear out, if that matters. Thanks to all.

Actually am looking for someone who OWNS and DRIVES an E46 M3 to share their experiences. The UUC, GC or other options in sways, with specific adjustment recommendations would be most appreciated.

By the way Kev, I'm a 20 year PCA member and despite my love for all things 911, they have their issues, too...looks like the new 997 Carrera is only as fast 0-60 as our crappy M3s which are $25K less. To each his own, brother!
