L-Tuned Installed - Whats next?
My wife dissapproved of the Bilstein PSS coils so I got the Ltuned installed and she gave me the Okay! It removes the float of the stock suspension but definitly does NOT handle like the coilovers. Those made a huge difference in handling by themselves!
What to do next? I want the feel of a 540 sport without too much grief from the wife. She road in a 540 and didn't complain so thats my bench mark. I was thinking Diazen sways to reduce roll (but not eliminate) and then bracing to firm up the chasis. Does it matter or should I start with the front braces and move to the rear?
Thanks for all the input you guys have given. Much appreciated!
Now I need to sell my Bilsteins so I can buy the sways!

Get the sways first to see how they feel. No need to rush into the rest of the braces. The braces will help but when WAF is a consideration, piece by piece is safer. 
If ride quality is an issue, Daizen is definitely the way to go. If $ is an issue, some members have had some success with the Daizen poly sway bushings. They are only about $30 and fit over the stock sways. They will not be as tight as the sway bars themselves but it is an improvement. Here is some reading for you:

We've got a classified forum you can post 'em in, they should sell pretty quick!
Do NOT put just the fronts on (sways), do both of them at the same time on the sways or you may have significant handling issues. I think you really meant braces when you said braces in your post, but it's worth making sure

same work here - i got the L-TUNED springs/shocks last week, i got TRD front upper strut bar and lower suspension brace along with TOM'S 6 piece rear links and DAIZEN bushings yesterday - i think it's enough, i'll get all those installed next week.
i'm not planning to replace the stock sway bars - i understand that they make the ride very stiff...

yo mo....well...we know who wears the pants in the family...LOL...
in any case....i got the LTuned and Daizen sways for some time now....love the setup. I'd suggest getting a front and rear strut bar to reduce body flexing.
