Smile Handling Improving Questions

hi guys,
I have a 1.8 w204 2011 face lifted. I am willing to improve my cars handling. but I have no idea what to do, first I thought I should buy amg package coilovers and springs with sway bars. but it costs a loooot, what should I do rather than changing rims. can you guys give any better or atleast cheaper ideas please ?

You could try the Eibach Anti-roll kit, some stiffer springs and a strut bar

From what I read by other posters, the eibach sway bars help a lot. Some even say to change those before you change springs as springs are more so aesthetics.

I've written about the handling improvements I've made so search for my threads. In short, Eibach antisway bars, Bilstein B6 struts, and SMERC strut tower brace make for outstanding handling, very good ride comfort, and no loss of ride height, which was important to me (driveway entrances, snow, etc.). I did not want to change the springs and in retrospect am glad I kept the stock spec. Also, Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 should be a consideration.
