The sway bars function independent to other suspension upgrades such as shocks or coil overs. The sway bars function is to keep the car as flat as possible. These are adjustable, simply disconnecting the rear endlinks and switching the holes will control the amount of tension.

These are steel and powdercoated for corrosion resistance. Titanium is extremely expensive and is not an ideal metal for use on an application like a sway bar. To get titanium as strong as it needs to be for the torsional load, the weight savings is minimal, and there is some real concerns for longevity.
A strut tower brace in titanium is the usual aesthetic option people go for, offering plenty of additional stiffness in that configuration.
