Links will have more of an effect. The front brace looks good but prolly isnt as noticeable in the handling.

Do the endlinks first, both front and rear. The stock links are twigs compared to the beefier Racinglines. The FTB is just icing on the cake

Save up and do it all at once. You will end up doing it all anyway.

Most noticable handling improvement will be from upgrading the rear anti-sway bar with Racingline endlinks. FTSB minimum.

Consider EiBach or Progress lowering springs next for a lower stance and even better handling performance.

Buy the progress sway bar and both sets of end links. It will be a big difference from stock. I did that before the lowering springs/strut replacement. I felt a very noticeable difference even when I was on the OEM struts and springs. However, if you aren’t installing these yourself, it would be cheaper to buy piece by piece, then have everything installed at once.
