Sway bars should make a big difference. But I think the TII Sway bars are not as thick as aftermarket sway bars! Search for the thickness, i'll see if i have the info and i'll let you know.

changing your strut towers is going to be a royal pain.

Yeah, so springs are gonna be your best bet man. Struts will do nothing what so ever for your body roll.

Are you trying to stay in a certain class of Autox or something?

If they aren't blown yet, which they probably have a good ammount of blowby due to age, the aftermarket springs will probably do nothing to increase or decrease the lifespan of the shocks.

don't try to be like one of those Honda Ricers who are cutting the springs just so they can cut corners.
if you are planning to change the springs and s-way bars, then go all the way.
