Default Handling mods for road tracks?

I have coilovers that are on the way but would like to seek the advice on what would be good handling mods on the AP2, in order of preference?

Front and/or rear Sway bars?
Front and/or rear Roll center adjusters?
What else would be considered good handling mods?

Thanks.

Depends....

Depends on your wheel/tire package. Depends on what coilovers you go with, and most importantly, what spring rates. Roll center adjusters? Depends on how low you go. Need to consider bump steer too

Order of preference?

#1. Sticky tires. Start there first.

Here's a thread to start on with wheels/tires:

The answer depends on why you want "handling mods". Are you trying to correct a handling problem? Trying to minimize laptimes? Just feel like spending money on your car?

I'd track it stock first, then adjust to preference.
