this is the first step but the car will roll more.

if you're doing swaybars best to do both front and back together. the car dynamics will not feel right if you do just the rear. on our setups the posture of the front end while turning hard will dramatically change how the front end grips.

imho the Z is very stable for street setup..very predictable handling. i dont foresee changing the sways or the springs for now. i'd like to tighten the dampers just a hair though.

Is that the same as changing the muffler bearings? WTF is "tightening the dampers"?

dampers are the gas charged pistons that slows down a shock or strut.

Oh... I guess you're talking about stiffer struts.
