HIDs in Projectors or Sway Bar?

I've had my 2nd gen projectors sitting in box now for 3 weeks. I have $160 to spend before winter. I can buy HIDs for my projectors or since TTR has free shipping right now, I could get a sway bar with free shipping. I only want to install my projectors once. Right now, I'm looking at three possible options. What should I do? When you vote please tell why you chose the option that you chose. And PLEASE keep it to these three options. Im not open to suggestions unless your a vendor. Thanks!

OPTIONS

1) Buy HIDs and install the projectors.

2) Buy a TTR 1" Rear Sway Bar and leave the factory headlights in until spring and then buy HIDs.

3) Buy the Sway Bar and install the projectors without HIDs.

Here's my car:

The only problem your gonna have is the front sway bar will not be matched to the rear and you could wind up with a car that handles worse then it does now. If your gonna upgrade to a rear sway bar get a matched set or don't bother.

I voted option 1, just cause Jackalope is right about getting a matched set. Or atleast getting the FE5 front bar to go with it.

IF you get a matced set it does wonders for the car cornering ability. BUT if yyou throw any old rear bar on without having it matched your asking for the car over or under steer worse then it does now. Basicly the rear would stay flat while the front tries to dip down and the car will slide. Companies like Eibach spend tons of time researching what works the best for the car and they sell it as a package deal, thats what you want.
