I'd be very interested in your initial reaction to the sway bar and Bilstein upgrade. The bars themselves do not affect ride comfort but sure help the cornering. The Bilsteins are firmer but the stability and control are wonderful.
As I said, on everything but closely spaced small sharp bumps, the Bilsteins are head a shoulders above the OEs. On big dips and undulations and in quick turning transisitons, the difference is quite noticeably better. And... its not that the Bilsteins are "bad" over small sharp bumps but when there are lots of them, the ride is annoying.
Good luck with the sway bar installation. Rear is a piece of cake but the front one is a bear. Dropping engine sub-frame and likely snapped bar bushing clamp fasteners. Use lots of heat & pen. oil on those. They are VERY tight because they are self tapping types that cut threads at factory installation. As such, they are very snug.
