Suspension right?

So I am working on my suspension first. I have installed the KW coilovers V1's should have got the v2's. Anyway, I still have a little body roll. I want to hear peoples opinions on tightening up the suspension. I am thinking a strut bar, and figuring out a way to tighten up the semi-independent rear suspension we have been blessed with. Has anyone used the bigger anti roll bars offered by Eibach for auto-x? I need real ideas. I am building my car to be a good street/track car.

There are no strut bars for the 09SS and strut bars dont help body roll.

Rear sway bar, crank the damping up, more preload on your springs or stiffer springs.

The Eibach and the OTTP 1.0 are very very close in relative stiffness, the difference is gonna be color choice and design. Eibach does this crimp deal at the mounting point for their bar, OTTP bars are full diameter tube the entire bar, never crushed, I prefer that.
