I recently bought a 2013 max and im wondering about some suspension upgrades. I understand that it has the "sport tuned" suspension. My question is, will and rl or stillen rear sway bar, front swaybar, and end links be of much improvement m

Less body roll in my book is always an improvement... sway bars will do that. End links would help as well.

Big fan of RacingLine rear sway bar. Easy install, big improvement. Worth every penny.

I see, so the sport package is still inferior to the stillen and rl sways, gotcha.

I'm coming from a premium pkg, so I couldn't say. The sport pkg has a better front sway bar than premium, and there are no aftermarket options that I know of to upgrade the front. The RacingLine rear sway bar is an upgrade for both regular and sport models. The best combination to upgrade handling would probably be upgraded rear sway bar, and eibachs lowering springs. (Eibachs are next on my list.)

Hmm, im not sure I want to lower my car but it may be worth looking into. So im probably going with the rl rear sway and end links at least. I think stillen makes a front sway but not too sure.

"Better / worse" is subjective...
- what I believe is that any stock suspension is a foundation for improving body roll, turn in, track stability and balance. With that in mind, within the first 6 months of purchase any car I buy gets the following addressed:

- upgrade bushings to poly, aftermarket or custom
- sway bars, adjustable if possible
- spring/strut and or coil-over swap
- front or rear upper strut care if applicable
- lateral / camber links if applicable
- subframe connectors, aftermarket or custom (tie-in the firewall to the subframe)... not a fan of x-bracing (clearance issues)
- various cross member braces, aftermarket or custom
- proper weight balanced alignment with me in the drivers seat while aligned (shops that tune for local road racing can work with you to get the best tire wear for a daily driver, and yet enhance the driver input with custom tweaks)

Results - a much more balanced and predictable handling package that enables confident driving and ease.

I suggest all this at once, as each component integrates with the other. Suspension systems make driver experiences, power only being applicable to handling.

In addition to suspension mods you should think of upgrading your tires to wider profile tires (preferably UHP) to give you better steering and handling.
