Adding a rear anit-roll bar(sway bar) increases stiffness at the back of the car. This increase in stiffness increases the weight transfer at the back of the car, meaning that it will transfer more weight onto the outside tyra and take load off the inside tyre.
Adding a rear anti-roll bar is fine as long as it is done in conjunction with a proportionatly stiffer front bar.
Adjustable bars are an easy way to "tune" your suspension. By changine the bars effective stiffness, you can adjust the weight transfer in the car from corner to corner. Meaning that if you have an oversteering problem, there is a probability that you could be getting too much weight transfer at the back. To fix this, increase the front bar stiffness. This will make the front end of the car work harder to resist body roll, taking the load transfer off the rear end. Ultimatly keeping both rear wheels on the ground doing what they are supposed to be doing.
Unless you really want to get the very best handling from your car, I wouldn't bother with adjustable bars. If they are badly set up, they will make your car handle worse than standard. But having said that, just putting on a big rear one and a standard front one will do just the same.
The diameter doesn't mean much on it's own as the length of the arms plays a part in the stiffness. Whitline are not stupid, if they recommend these bars as a pair, then they must work relatively well together.
