Default Real world benefit of adding Z51 sway bars to base C7?

I have a new 1lt C7 2015 non z51 A8 in arctic white. I just ordered a set of z51 sway bar set. I want to tighten the car in corners, to give me more confidence, feel flatter than without. I can see one can buy the z51 shocks, set of four for $340.00. Pretty cheap but not sure I want to go that route. Car will be used mostly for daily driving maybe with 1-3x a year HPDE. Hope this will be enough. What do you guys think? Ger.

It will be enough, added also 19/20 wheels and it is perfect for me.

I put Z51 rears shocks on due to I did not like the way the rear was to soft, it helped and was better than the sway bars for me. I really did not see much out of the sway bars, seemed about the same to me.
