Default newb suspension question

Ok, first of off, I am new to sport compacts and recently bought a 99 civic dx hatchback that I am really liking. Now it is time for a few mods.

I want to tune up the suspension for a better street car, but am confused as to what I need. I found a front and rear sway bar set…and then looking at another site, they had strut tower bars for the front and rear lower tie bar for the rear.

What do I need for better cornering with less body roll? The sway bars or the other two things? Or do you use a combination of all 4 pieces for optimum handling?

Thanks and sorry for the newb question.

PS has anyone used the sparco speed sports seats? Are they something you could use in a daily driver, or are they a race only type of seat?

recaros are for bling (mighty nice bling, i might add) but if you want comfort, save some dough. they're made with thick side bolsters for a reason...
