I agree with Al about the sway bars, Bilsteins, and lastly the chassis braces. My local mechanic poo-pooed the effect of the braces but the upper one especially was very noticable to me and make the car feel more solid, a bit quicker in steering response, and even ride a bit better. I am using the truss type upper with the Volvo cross bar lower on my 745T with sway bars and Bilsteins and am pleased with the handling and ride. I also wouldn't bother with lowering stiffning springs, the Bilsteins should firm up the ride enough for you. Spend your money on new ball joints and upper strut supports and bearings instead.
