Paul has a good point... I would put the springs and shocks on and then do the sways later.
Personally, I have no complaints with the stock sway bars and can't really imagine that I would be fractions of a second per lap faster had I changed them.
Anyway, you have the benefit of trying all this stuff out, so you might want to have fun with that, rather than just put it all together at once.

Since getting the Tokicos, I haven't even considered getting new sways; the shocks keep the 8 much flatter in turns than before. Bars and springs aren't even on my current "wish list." Strut tower braces are the only suspension mod on my list right now.
I initially got the Tokicos purely to address high-speed stability at the track. But I also found them to be a major improvement in restricting roll - so they're a great help in Autocross too.
