I had the PP Sachs on my 17, I replaced them with MCA street performance coilovers and the handling improvement is night and day and they are more compliant/comfortable on rough roads as well.

6kg front, 4.5kg rear with valving to match.

I feel no need to swap out the OEM sways as it handles so good now.

I also installed the "MCA traction mod" with great results.

The Sachs dampers were pretty average IMO, better than OEM stockers, but still not what I would call good or compliant.

I would always upgrade my dampers and springs before sways, with bigger sways you are generally sacrificing grip to achieve desired handling characteristics.

Well, thats what I think anyway, opinions are gonna vary.
