ST coilovers for m2?

has anyone put ST XTA f80 m3 coilovers on an f87 m2 (in my case OG 2018)
Bilstein PSS10 coilovers per their website fit f80 and f87, kw H.A.S kit per their website also fits both, and yet on ST's site, you can only fit them on f80 apparently.
any insite would be greatly appreciated!

The front coilover mount differs depending on S55 or N55. Not possible for N55.

you mean the top plate itself? if i buy Ground control camber plates for OG m2, the rest of the ST coilover should fit no? since technically they share the same suspension components other than the top plate because of strut bar
please correct me if i'm wrong !

I bought a set of XTAs. Installing next week. KW/ST was kind enough to add an extra hole allowing out strut brace to be fitted.

I was told by many that the will/ won't fit. Based on my calculations, they're good to go.

By far the best coilover/ camber plate combo for the money, I'd argue

Look upon this as an opportunity to upgrade not just the suspension units, but also the strut brace to that used on the M2C and M3/4.

These will then be a direct fit - in addition to stiffening the front structure.

I've had about 8-9 different coilover setups on different chassis over the years and I was amazed at how comfortable yet composed these are.

10/10 product
