Hi.
First, forget the antisway bars -- they keep the wheels on opposite sides (i.e., the right and left front, or the right and left rear) moving together. With potholes being your major concern, at least what you expressed, you want them to move separately -- i.e., as close to an 'independent' suspension as possible to lessen the jarring effects (assuming one wheel hits a pothole, and the other doesn't).
Second, as for the lights, my best advice is to get rid of the USA headlights and get the real 'E code' European headlights instead. A world of difference, and you don't have to go to higher wattages to see an improvement.
Good luck, and congratulations.
