unless you use the lightweight flywheel then you can change the disc too cause the oem flywheel has the lip around the inner bolt holes

yea i meant driveshaft thanks. according to franks swap guide, i should be able to use my stock one. I just pulled out an m50 swap and that was the same shaft as well.
got my trans yesterday, need to get the clutch for release arm, slave cylinder, and throw out bearing.
also, i ordered new coilovers and the garagistic arms, those should be here soon.

just noticed that i posted pics of my stupid mistake I made. call it lack of sleep, scatter brain, or just a dumb mistake, i put the front coilovers on the wrong side on accident at first (Shown in pic) and the lower ball joints were in the spot on the knuckle for the tie rod. swapped them around immediately, but apparently that is when i snapped the pics. e46 lower control arms are a good bit longer, giving the car a wider track up front, more camber, and also more caster. Not really something you would want to do to a street car or grip racing, but desirable for drifting.
the coilovers are Megan Eurospec with 6" 10k springs up front and 8k in the rear. As for installing them, pretty simple... just cut your strut tube off of the knuckle leaving 2 inches for the new coilover to slip over it, than weld it.
