Default Tie bar vs Sway bars vs H brace

Stupid question, but that are the differences of the 3, advantages and disadvantages? also which would you recommend? In addition to this i would be getting front and back upper strut bars, and to top it off some Tein S-Tech springs with I'm thinking koni adjustable shocks/struts. what do you think?

The tie bars and h brace are used to connect the subframes together the H brace does it in 4 points rather than 2 and the sway bars are used to tie the control arms of the suspension together. But the Tie bars increase chassis rigidity and reduce flex while the sway bars reduce body roll when in a turn. If I am wrong, someone please correct me. I am looking into all these mods as well right now. You can use both the sway bars and tie bars together which is what I am going to do I think. I think that set up should be pretty good. I am going with Tokico illuminas and Ground Control myself.

i would say sway bars will give you the biggest improvment in the handleing.

All of those mods will have more effect while turning. From what i hear it those mods dont effect comfort too much. Rougher and stiffer ride is mostly effected by the springs and shocks.

what effect would polyurethane bushings do so handling and ride smoothness? are they worth while? Would you recommend getting them? also, would i need to get new swar bars front and rear or just front? i know some of these are stupid questions but i want to spend my money buying only the parts i want and not waste any. and i am to the point where i will probably start ordering this next month
