I dont think theres any same person who wouldnt vote for swaybars. They are definitly very good bang for buck.

Cusco and Whiteline sway bars Perrin end links. My set up will be something like that.

steering rack bushings!!!!!
swaybars are fantastic, but be sure you know what you're doing before you throw them on. If ya don't appreciate lift-throttle oversteer, limit yourself to an 18 in the rear.
endlinks with spherical bearings/rose joints/ heim joints will be noisy.

I'd just go with an adjustable rear swaybar with some front and rear endlink bushings, or new endlinks all together. I did struts and springs before I did my swaybar and wish I had done them in the other order. The swaybar made a much more noticable difference in handling/understeer.

Swaybars, Endlinks & bushings will do you well.
Steering rack bushings is a great 30$ mod
Tranny Mounts is another one :)
Since you have a sedan, a rear strut brace won't be as effective, but it would still do something for you.

The steering rack bushings are a PITA to get changed out I thought? They are a cheap mod, and generally the stock ones are split apart and totally worn in, but I thought the space to get in at them is really tight?

They are a PITA, but the amount of work you have to actually do is limited. It just takes a lot of fiddling. It's a good mod.

if you cut the square bushing in half it makes it simple and fast with no ill effects. I did it 20k ago.
A nice performance alignment can really wake up a car too, although if you're just looking to minimize body roll it won't do anything.
