Sway bars will make a significant improvement in handling, since you have already incorporated several Daizen suspension mods, I would reccommend the Daizen sways. Plenty of discussions on here about the merits of the different sways available. What size tire did you mount on those rims? It may be just an illusion but your 3rd pic makes it look like you have quite a bit of fender gap even though you have dropped the car on L-tuned springs. Though the upkeep is challenging, NOTHING compares to a well-detailed black car.

The tires sizes are 255/40 and 235/40.
The L-tuned offers a very modest drop.

I'm not familiar with the ride characteristics of the Intrax sways but can strongly endorse the improvement acheived with Daizen. I'm familiar with the effect of L-tuned as I have an L-tuned setup (shocks & springs) on my GS. Got about 1 1/4 " drop. My rims are 18X8.5 with 245/40 on all 4 rims. Mybe the 235/40 "skinny" set up in front explains the apparant fender gap. Your tires have a slightly lower profile and thus may not visually fill the the wheel well as much.
