    Control arm bushings (m3 solid offset, or treehouse's eyeball bushings to clear for 24v exhaust.

    Trailing arm bushings as well, and you will have to run 17" wheels if you are using e36 m3 brakes. and e36 offset.

    Ok, so I'm pretty much set for this swap except for the plates. Should I be changing any bushings prior to this install?

    Again, sorry if my questions are dumb....

    I dont THINK the e36 ones will work. I havent gone that route as I am a firm beleiver in keeping the suspension geometry correct without having to adjust it to be neutral. They might work however, trial and error.

    I have the 99 M3 control arms and some KMAC camber plates for an 99 M3. Do I need camber plates for an e30 or will the ones I have work?

    Other than that, am I set to go?

    Thanks!!

    a few questions on a 5lug swap

    Hello,

    I think I just purchased everything I need but I would like to confirm this.

    Front:

    99 M3 coilovers, hubs, brakes

    Rear:

    318ti trailing arms with hubs, brakes, half shafts

    Is there more that I need?

    TIA,
    Fernando
