So far I'm thinking M3 wishbones and tension rods in the front, along with an E93 M3 front sway and some springs.
Still researching springs, but I'm thinking BMW performance springs or Eibachs right now...
The RFT's and stock (sport) shocks would have to go, but I want to get some use out of them first; I'm not chucking brand new parts with less than 1000 mi. on them...

I would ask what you are going to use the car for. If you are going to be tracking the car in any SCCA events or a sanctioned body, I would suggest NOT swapping to M3 parts... That would put you in to a crazy class and would have a lot of tough, tough competition.
As far as sway bars are concerned...most popular are Hotchkis and H&R. I have the H&R bar and I am absolutely satisfied on its performace. I have not tried the Hotchkis bars on the car, so I cannot comment on those.
I think the bars should fit the 2010 as I believe there were no suspension changes...dont hold me to that tho.
