Simple install. 5 minutes. You'll feel a difference with stock suspension. But you won't neccessarily see a big difference through turns. Handling improvements should start at the core of suspension(shocks/springs) then tires and sway bars. From there, you may or may not want to add in strut bars or a cage/roll bar.

Strut bars are moreso bling but it does help reduce the boat feeling when riding on stock suspension or lowering springs.

i just got an NRG bar for the back, $59 shipped. Looks good to me and it wasn't too spendy.
