Default advice strut bar/sway bars/coil overs

Hey guys,
I finished modding my engine to the power I desired but now I am thinking of getting A- Better sway bars B- coilovers C- strut bar. possibly all parts later in future. The reason behind this is for less body roll, more control over the vehicle and adjustable right height. I want to increase my height by at most 1.5 inches due to the aftermarket metal plate hitting on speed bumps even when approached slowly. Some bump are bigger than others

My ride is currently on aftermarket wheels and tires. Wheels are option lab 18 x 8.5 R716. I would like to hit the track in the near future so I know what my car is capable of. Im currently pushing 440 whp give or take some on E51 here in AZ. I really enjoy the launch, hence the power.

It's my daily so I'm not sure if this is even an investment that is really needed however I would like to have the knowledge from others out there with the experience.

What kind of track? Drag strip or road course? (It's not clear from "less body roll and more control" on the one hand and "launch" on the other.) Tire size?

As far as adjustable ride height is concerned, if you want that for anything other than cornerweighting the car you'll find that adjusting it will get really old really fast. Keep in mind that as you raise or lower the car, its alignment settings will change . . . and there's no guarantee that you'll be able raise or lower both sides of the car by the same amounts without preloading the sta-bars.

Strut tower braces (I think that's what you're thinking of) mainly improve NVH and don't do an awful lot for strictly mechanically improving cornering & handling. That said, reduced NVH does tend to make the car feel more solid, which goes to improving driver confidence (I wouldn't underestimate the value of that).
