For the front, Whiteline makes a front sway bar for the Lancer that is 27mm. However, it notes on their site that it is now a discontinued product. I'm not sure about the availability.

The RRM/Progress rear sway bar is 19mm in diameter (not 27mm, sorry) and is well worth it. It stiffens up the flexing like night and day!

well depending on what year lancer ya got, you could have a sway bar already. I have have an 06 es, and it came with the same back sway bar from the older ozs and i can tell you right now, it sucks so hard! So like senate said yea, the rrm sway bar is best, and 27mm for the lancer is great because fwd cars have more inherant understeer, bringing uo the need for more stiffness out back, whereas the scoobie would need all of that, so I hoped that sorta helps so ya wont go grabbin that oz bar!

Oh yea, I forgot! whiteline also makes a front and rear strutbar for our chassis if you find yourself wanting some neutrality in your handling.

i put an oz sway bar on my 03 es. and i can totally feel the difference. it makes such a big difference. i can only imagine what the rrm one will do compared to the oz one. the oz one made me es hella tighter

Yep, RRM's rear sway bar is 19mm.

If the OZ sway bar is the same as the RA's, I think it's 12 or 13mm.

This is my RRM bar next to my stock RA bar:

Doesn't it just replace the stock one, location, mounting and all?

Yes, but if it's an ES, there's no brackets or anything on it.
