What make a better ride?

I've heard sway bars, Mc Phearson struts, etc... Can someone give me an honest opinion on what makes a better ride on the TL???

Maybe you should clarify what "better" is to yourself. Better being:

1) better handling
2) plush ride
3) siffer ride
etc...

Depending on what you want will depict what you should get

Sway bars wont change the way your car 'rides' it will change the handling characteristics...

Different struts will change ride depending on how they are rated... like some are softer than others... giving a more 'luxury' ride.. others like adjustables or coil-overs can be rather harsh.. but perform much better in the corners...
