Default Suspension Upgrade '01 S40 1.9t

I would like to upgrade the suspension under our newly acquired '01 s40 1.9t
doesn't appear to be a large selection available .....
Ideally I would like to lower it some and firm up the handling significantly
Saw the 22mm sway bar at ipd and figured it was a must along with lowering springs
with struts/shocks.
Any feedback on what's available at ipd
or other sources for suspension parts?
The other half's personal greasemonkey.....

Yes your right IPD sways are a must. Hands down the best suspension investment you can pour money into.
