While I am going a different direction --- I figured I'd gather the information I found and post it here for others to use.

Hey all gathering information for a possible future Kswap into an E30, figured I'd throw together a thread to put information here for myself to revert back to and for others too.
Feel free to post your resources below and I'll edit this main post for ease to refer back to.

Swap Kits
Firstly, options for kits. The two most well-known are obviously KPOWER and TFWORKS.

Touge Factory / TF WORKS Phase 1 Kit = https://www.tf-works.com/tf-works-bm...p-kit-phase-1/
Touge Factory / TF WORKS Phase 2 Kit = https://www.tf-works.com/tf-works-bm...p-kit-phase-2/
Neither company's kit is complete, still need additional parts and solutions.
Other companies are making mounts and options, but currently listing mostly-complete kits. More to be added.
