Try this , then evaluate how the car feels. The next thing which will help a lot is m3 subframe bushings.
The coilovers are a cheap brand and will make the car ride badly. The setup I list will ride very well and better than stock due to being at stock sport height and high quality dampers.

Good juju.
But, forget Bilstein - Koni Yellow is excellent. Consider linear springs a la Ground Control [Eibach] t'replace crash bang progressives. DIY replacement not difficult at all, front struts and rear shocks/springs. With exception of top shock mounts, rear, a minor pain.
OP, resist rear M sway until after you have a LSD. Front sway's an easy R&R; yields good result. Rear sway + LSD
after front sway is stellar.
Stock rear subframe bushings are an abomination and crime against mankind. $300'll get you M bushings + install tool rental from HPAutowerks. Far easier to drop subframe than most imagine.
Hava good year!
