Yup there are OEM and aftermarket parts that bolt on as you have pointed out (thanks for sharing that work btw), and there are aftermarket oil cooler options as well, etc.

It would have been nice to have more OEM performance parts support, given the level of sharing that already exists between Z and other cars

It is a lot of investment of time and money (as you know) to test and tune a mix and match of suspension parts, and it is a nice option to pay $1600 to have a matched set of dampers, springs and swaybars read to go (similar to what is offered for the F30) that OEM chassis engineers have put effort into developing at the 'Ring

Or to pay $1800 to have a matched set of front and rear brakes, plus a factory recalibration of the DSC to work optimally with said brakes
