As I understand it, the offset ones change the camber(?) settings. It's supposed to give sharper handling. It also can affect tire wear. If you use them, you probably need to check your tires more often.

The arms are the same really. The M3 ones are just a little stronger. The 95 bushings should be the offset ones. Which they made centered in 96. I believe they kept the same setting by going with offset strut mounts. So whatever you do keep it the same. 95 stut mounts 95 bushings.. etc..

If you want offset 95 bushings then 95 centered strut mounts..

96 centered bushings 96 offset mounts.
