If you go sway bars get endlinks you will burn through your oem endlinks in about a year depending on how many miles you got on your ride and how hard you drive it. How many miles you got on your Z? How much money do you have to spend on upgrades? Personally I like the sway bar or springs upgrade. I would probably do the springs first then upgrade sways when you got enough to pay for endlinks. The endlinks make a big difference.

This is just like suspension and braking. I am also getting other things like cams and tune. So not really 10k more like 3-4k

From your list I would go with wheels, it will make the biggest impact to the curb appeal of your Z

The rest of the stuff you can put on after you get wheels IMO
