Straight up what would help improve the handling more on an all stock rx8 and not bring ride quality down significantly: front and rear sway bars, front and rear Strut bars, or getting new springs and having it lowered?

Don't do springs w/o shocks unless they're pretty easygoing (ie. tein h-techs). Even then you'll need to replace the shocks eventually. Better to do both at one time if you go that route.
Strut bars are the least beneficial suspension mod and the front is more significant then the rear. But the front looks good when you pop your hood.

^ I would go with Racing Beat for the sway bars, mostly because of the reinforced end links. It seems that they've tested their products extensively enough to notice that new end links are beneficial. Could just be marketing, but I'm inclined to believe that a stronger endlink can't hurt.
Then again you could just use the RB endlinks on the tanabe sways

Absolutely WONDERFUL setup, **** i wish i did this as opposed to coilovers.
Tokico D Spec
Swift Sport Mach Springs....
OMG, Traction for days and uneven surfaces just wait to be conquered. We did this setup on a client's car and he ran us through the canyons at a speed i would dare not touch with my coilovers. My tires wouldn't even stay on the ground with the surface imperfections. But the Dspec/Swift setup maitained tire on ground at all times.
I got deals, hit me up....
