Do I need aftermarket sway bars?

Hello, have definitely done some research and realize sway bars are a large benefit mod, and I am a little familiar with them.
However for my driving, I really do not feel any lean in corners. I'm sure that is mostly due to me not pushing it hard in corners. This is not a daily driver, driven spiritedly to the mexican restaurant and to the mountains. it is a stock 2008 G37S coupe with 60K miles and Michelin PS AS 3+. What I feel is a push, on me, to the outside during turns. The seat have good torso lumbars so I don't go anywhere but feel the force to the outside. Would aftermarket sways help this? I would feel more confident in turns if this "push" were less. But don't really feel the car leaning dipping to the outside. Itching to do a mod to the car and have always enjoyed good handling. Thanks for any feedback.

"Need" is not exactly the word you're looking for. "Want", sure, but not "need". Go for it, brother. Get front strut bar while you're at it.

Depends on how you look at it, given my situation and what I would like in turns, are aftermarket sways going to be an improvement for me, over stock? Getting rid of body roll is mostly mentioned as the improvement with aftermarket sways, I'm not feeling a lot of body roll currently.
Thanks for the reply

You probably aren't hitting the corners at higher speeds to get the car to lean. But, sway bars are one of the best suspension mods you can do and it is night and day. But, if you do not notice a difference now and enjoy the feel then keep it stock. But, if you wanted it more planted get bigger sway bars.
