Yes. It's not. And as you might imagine there are a ton of changes that have varying effects - getting off RF tires to real ones, M3 suspension bits, coil-overs, et cetera. As jts1981 mentions, the more you tighten up the front, the better.

But also it is apples to oranges. The sway bars help with body roll. The strut bar helps with steering reaction (and keeping suspension geometry intact).

What seems misaligned about the intake to you? Remember the motor is mounted at an angle.
