Some NA's had the option of a rear anti-sway bar. I was in the same boat as you. 20mm front and no rear anti-sway bar.
Now I have 24mm front and 18mm rear (86 Turbo). You'll need the drop link set for the rear. Pelican sells this or try to get one from a car that was equipped with a rear bar (that's what I did). I also got brand new rubber bushings f+r.

My 84 also had both sways. The only things I nnede to do the 951 bars was bushings. I was ablt reuse the front and rear brackets. I did have to take a pair of needlenose pliers and kind of compress the bushing on the half round clamps to get the second bolt started. I thraeded in the first one about three turns then clamped the other end to get it going. Fronts took a total of about an hour, rears about 45 minutes. I used 18" jack stands and a creeper, no big deal. It is definately an imporvement especially w/ 17" wheels and Koni yellows at the same time.
