Sway bars will make a noticeable difference.
Strut bars do nothing for this car. The car is pretty heavily braced already. Larger front sway bars definitely help AP1's feel a bit more planted and less twitchy than they do normally.

My R&D brace helps are large bumps like railroads. Eliminated some creaking going up driveways.

Saner bars are like $300 not $1000...
Used to always be for sale on Ebay but I don't see them now.
To help eliminate roll more a nice set of coilovers will greatly help with that. When I did just my koni yellow shocks with the Eibach springs it helped out a lot!
That and sway bars are going to help the most. Most other braces do very little if anything to help. Especially strut bars. They literally do NOTHING!
