Although I would invest in some nicer shocks like the FSD's. Those paired with the front bar would probably be the best overall difference/feel for the money. You could go with sexy springs and the M parts throughout, but thats a pretty large investment, and if you're a guy like me with hardly any mechanical experience, its even more money for installation. Also the rear subframe bushings are supposedly great for losing any of the wobbly, sloppy feeling from the rear end, specially if you're lowered at all. Only problem with these is they need about 4-6 hours in installation labor costs which is alot. You can install the front bar, shocks and springs in probably that amount of time.

So ya, you're around where im at tbh, i dont have any suspension mods yet, but i wanna do the front bar and some shocks to make the ride sweet n more tuned. Id like to go the whole M suspension route, just dont have the dollars. Im jealous of these crazies who get ALL the parts together and can just throw em on their car themselves in a few days, no problem. Hell, if I tried myself at installing the M suspension itd be 5 days later with hardly any progress and me swearing my ass off with muscles tight n aching all to hell
