Substantially firmer than stock but there is still a touch more body roll than I would like on high speed corners.
You thinking of getting a strut brace? Super affordable, easy install and great feeling from what I'm reading.

Planning on doing that same time as my coilovers

Definitely go for it, couldn't believe how much it improved my car. Made me looking for the rear one... Just get the new bolts, and use a good torque wrench

Don't bother with a rear strut brace. Not as useful in the rear and doesn't function the same way as the front strut brace because the rear is located at the trunk floor, not at the top of the rear suspension.

Thanks, johnung. As I have F31, I consider a strut bar drilled, and mounted to top of the strut towers (e.g. Wiechers).
