BIG car, don't take the anti-roll bars off
Best advise woudl be to spend time in the Volvo parts counter or a Volvo club and find out the T5 suspension settings and a-r bar thicknesses and try sourcing them. I've followed a T5 on track 4 passengers and REALLY pushing it - a fast, well balanced car for something that big and practical

Anti-roll bars not too hard to make as long as you have a samle. Problems can come when you try to use standard steel bar and it's thicker than current mounts, maybe needing even more engineering. Local steel fabricators can help , but getting control over the stiffness isn't that easy and will likely involve a few attempts. Buying off the shelf is easier
