i'd fix the rear subframe bushings 1st, then reassess the path you desire to take
you also need to determine if you have the 704 sportline/m-sport suspension. if you have it, then you don't need sways because it comes with sways. if your car is a base model w/base suspension, it doesn't have sways. if you don't have sways, should you get them? that is the question...
i didn't realize the $905.xx price is for dampers(front struts/rear shocks)+strutmounts etc, only. since they offer it, it implies you can use the m-performance dampers with the m-sport springs, which you already have, if you desire.
or you can do m-performance dampers+springs=$1387.xx
or everything for $1865.xx if you don't have sways and want them. keep in mind, suspension installs are not cheap and swaybars are even more because you have to drop the rear subframe. i suppose you could install sways at the same time they fix the rear subframe bushings to save a bit of labor cost.
while m-performance products will surely work, i'm admittedly going to be a hypocrite here and suggest reconsidering, a proven mix/match option with the Koni SA/Eibach Pro-Kit setup. if you don't have sways, i'm fairly confident there are better options than the sportline/m-sport sways.
i'll hit up johnung as he may have better/different thoughts on this.
btw, the m-performance is a very good setup. i have it myself and paid $$$$bank years ago. at present, value wise, i feel it is slightly expensive with everything ala carte and a generation old.
