My 1st project will be to do the stabilizers, and if needed, dampers then do the springs. I'm curious why you did the spring and dampers before the stabilizers? In the US we seem to equate good handling with hard spring, but for street performance that's not necessarily true. Unless you're doing a lot of high speed driving, a more compliant suspension is better for keeping the tires on the ground and for ride comfort - IMO.

The other thing is does your z have the M Sport suspension? I've looked around and have not been able to determine if Bilstein has an upgrade replacement for BMW M Sport dampers.
