Default Suspension question, please help

I posted this in the Tech section but have only gotten 1 reply so I thought that I would post it here and see if I get any more help:

I have a '03 Anniversary convertible with the selective ride control ( Tour/ Sport) settings. I am thinking about changing the sway bars, bushings, and endlinks to the Z06 type. Will this effect the suspension controls, or will everything work as it does now? Will the car handle any better? Will this system work (fit) without any modifications. I just want it to handle a little better. I like the ride control, and my car only has 11k miles on it. I am not looking for a complete overhaul of the suspension system, just want to know if it is worth the cost (Around $300) and make sure that it will not damage my current suspension adjusting system. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Pretty much the same the shocks are calibrated for the springs, so as long as you do not change the springs the ride will stay the same however more bumps will transfer side to side because of the stiffer bars

I posted over there a little while ago. And again, the sways shouldn't effect it at all.
