Default Sway Bars and Wheel spacers combo and ride quality???

Just purchased an 06 Black Roadster Z (Enth) and love it.

After doing some research and looking at a lot of pictures in this forum I want to add some spacers and sway bars.

I want to make sure that I do not degrade the quality of the ride.
My wife likes the ride and can't stand cars that have a harsh ride.

Will the combination of sway bars and wheel spacers (probably 20mm in rear and 15mm or 10mm in front) affect the ride quality?
I am assuming that each of them separately add to increased handling so I am assuming together they add significantly to handling, is this true?

I will always be running the stock wheels and tire size.

I am not an overly aggressive driver but do like a good handling car and run it up through the twisties often (very often lately).

I am coming from an 03 Z coupe that was obviously a little more rigid.

I do not want to give up comfort since this is a daily driver and I like a fairly reasonable and comfortable ride.


All opinions appreciated.

You may notice a benefit to roll stiffness with the sways when driving towards the limits of adhesion and they should only feel more harsh when driving over uneven cambers/bumps.

IMO The wheel spacers are all about looks and, for after-market wheels, clearance. The companies will try to sell you on the "wider track" stuff, but your stock suspension geometry is designed to have the contact patches where they currently are.
