    If it was as easy as $500 worth of new hub assemblies don't you think everyone would have 5lug?
    yeah thats what i was thinking, but secretly i was hoping you could do something in the front. It doesnt help i cant find m3 front struts!

      yeah... sorry about that- it was something i remembered from a conversation with bryson about a year ago... I don't think bryson has worked with mz3 stuff... but then again, i could be spreading misinformation again.

        Bryson used e36 325i front suspension. Rear I *think* was 318ti or Z3. Basicly the same either way.

        I don't know of anyone else on this forum with MZ3 rear arms/brakes.

            so if i went the 325i route i would need the 97+ control arms, correct?

              Don't use e36 front suspension.

              The resulting geometry is very unfavorable.

              I could have had all the e36 M3 front suspension/brakes etc for free. I went with the proper method instead.

                  I paid $375 for my complete e30 M3 front strut assemblies.

                      No. Strut assembly, lever arms, and wheel hub/bearing.

                      I got e36 M3 calipers for free, and bought new e36 M3 rotors.
