Lowering and sways were the biggest change for me and I would go with them first and see if you get the feel you want. I wanted more so added bunch of the GTSpec bracing and I really like the added stiffness. What I have is detailed in My Garage.

Yeah there was a noticible improvement with the sways. I dont have a strut bar but I hear that is less noticible.

Sway first. Nice thing is that you can do it yourself very easily and then decide from there if you want to add more and you can do it a piece at a time.

Check out this post is you decide to add any GTSpec braces. Mark from GTSpec listed out the order of benefit if you want to add one at a time.
