STx Coilover / Tirerack fitment

I was about to purchase the STx coilovers from tirerack when I realized that according to my VIN CODE I have the "M Sport Suspension". When i went on tirerack.com to order the coilovers it shows that with a M Sport Package that they will not fit.

Is this true?

P337A M Sportpaket M Sports package
S704A M Sportfahrwerk M Sports suspension

last 7 of VIN: VM11103

Okay, To be clear the standard model and M Sport Package listed on tirerack.com for stx coilovers wont matter?

Obviously ill need the camber plates but do you recommend doing bushings and sway bars as well?

thanks,

M3 bushings are a must, getting mine installed right now and I'm upgrading to the E92 M3 sway bar, front only. I've done a ton of research on both mods and the vast majority of people do these upgrades. DO your own research and make the best decision for you. If I was you I'd run a shock and spring package before the ST coilovers. Just my opinion. Unless you need the height adjustment. Again search around a bit and you will find all of the info you need.
