SPL upgrade?

On a M340i or M440i xdrive which of these SPL upgrades are worth it for improved street and track performance? In what order? Thanks for commenting on your experiences.

And are you going to track your car or just drive it on the street? If you are going to track, will you be adjusting alignment / suspension before each track day?

Swaybars will make a big difference but they are pricey to get installed. If you did get them I'd recommend the SPL swaybar endlinks since you are lowered.

Want to wait on swaybars and do other suspension upgrades as mentioned since swaybars require a subframe drop.

I have KW V3 with Millway street camber plates. I am going to track the car, but don’t want to adjust alignment each time but will adjust the coilover compression. Thanks

Since you mentioned you won’t be adjusting frequently, I would just upgrade the rear toe links. All other parts in the catalog would be much more beneficial if you are adjusting your alignment based on your track day/setup.
