i can achieve this either with the swaybar or with stiffer dampers. this is where ive been trying to decide. i have a feeling i might be happier swapping out the dampers as it can also eliminate the normal-car-like feel while going over big dips. it's not a huge deal for me, but just trying to decide if i want to commit on the entire process (ordeal) or just leave it alone since the car drives pretty well.

I assume you mean "shocks" for "dampers", right?
Then I will suggest keep the shocks&spring stock but swap the sway for turn-in.
If you swap the dampers, you are in 99% also have to swap the spring... in result you have a lower ride height, ride quality will be different, and so on...
My brother in HK whose drive a E36 M3, has also swapped the sway only, since the roads in HK is 599% bumpier than what we have in North America.
Thus, without sacrifices the ride quality and some other issues, I will agree upgrading the sway is good enough to improve the turn-in response.
Moreover, the Z is mainly street use and weekend motoring, there's no need to stiffen the whole ride overly....
