Heavier front and rear sway bars do make a notable improvement to turn in and body roll. However, bear in mind that that upgrading suspension components puts more stress on other stock components and reduces the benefit of the upgrade. Using the example of sway bars, I felt it was prudent to add the strut tower brace and camber plates with the sway bars.
E53s are already well into the age and number on the road that aftermarket offerings have been or will be soon discontinued. If there are mods you want to add at least purchase them as soon as you can. I see Dinan mods and Eibach sway bars offered for sale once in a while but less and less often.
