I know the struts have different part #'s between the AMG and non AMG variants. Additionally the AMG units have AMG all over them in the form of stickers.

The ABC electronics also have different part numbers and programming between the AMG and non AMG variants.

Can't tell you the exact different however.

Do the cars with the "AMG package" have the AMG suspension parts?

I think the AMG package cars only got the bodykits AFAIK. But who knows.

Correct. The AMG Package is aesthetic only (ie Body kit).

Id imagine they are interchangeable however if I was to contemplate this I would make sure to match the AMG programmed ABC electronic module with the AMG struts. The pump, valve blocks, etc. appear to be the same.

As far as issues, I believe they all are on the same par.

I would guess the differences in the strut would be the spring rates.
