Merit of suspension mods?

So I'm looking to go apr stage 1 and am planning to leave everything stock on internals despite my want for an intercooler, downpipe, and stage 2. But I'm wondering if different suspension mods I'm looking at have much merit those being: front and back sway bars, lowering springs (apr probably I dont want to lower really), and front sway bar end links. Btw I'm dsg and only other upgrade is better wheels and tires.

Realize I should have put this under technical, sleep deprivation got the best of me and I don't know how to delete or move a post.

Rear sway bar, springs. I wouldn't bother with the front sway bar. It's a pain to swap out and the benefits are not worth it. As for front endlinks, they're not worth upgrading unless you're going low.

With that said, do all that then go stg2 lol

Why not start with just the rear sway bar and upgraded tires/wheels. Then evaluate from there.

What are your plans with your car? Are you going to do any rally racing? SCCA track racing? Drag strip? Groceries and driving to work only?

Might do some track days starting within a year or so but it's just my daily right now. I drive pretty aggressive from time to time and I like the power. Plus there are curvy back roads everywhere so I go have some fun at least once a week.
