The Associated ones would be the ones to get. What thickness depends on your driving style and track condition.

I suggest the Hotchkis sway bars. They keep my car planted in the turns

Is there really a difference between the different companies sway bars for the tc3? Besides that some may be a different thickness. I like the BRP ones because it comes with two different thickness's. One of them is a light bit smaller than the associated one's and one of them is a slight bit larger.

Get the BRP ones. They are hand bent using a jig while the Associated ones are not. This lets you start with a bar that is not tweaked. They also offer 3 different sizes for a tuning option. A .055 kit, and .062 & .078 kit.
