[potatomash]

Don't want to spam the thread but figured everyone here will have a good idea. If I want to run a set of AC Schnitzer type 2 17x8.5 et 13 am I better to go with e30 m3 or e36 5 stud?

Ok just read through this whole thread and a bit inspired.
I recently purchased a 5-lug conversion set including

96 M3 Calipers, Rotors, Hub, Control Arm, Strut body
318ti rear trailing arm, caliper, rotor

My first question is regarding the front. With the new E36M3 front setup, can I simply purchase coilover's designed for an E36M3 from manufacturers like KW or Stance, or would I need specific top hats designed for E30s? I know about the ground control kit specifically for 5 lug swapped cars but $1800 is a lot of money.

Posting an update to my setup. I've yet to check part numbers on a few of these things.

Springs: E30 H&R Race all around
Anti-roll: Ireland Engineering 22mm/19mm sway kit
Wheels: E36 M3 DSIIs (all fronts) with 225/45 R-17 Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 all around
ABS snipped by previous owner when doing swap
Mismatched US/Metric hardware and shitty welding jobs galore by previous owner, fortunately none of the real important stuff

Front:
E36 M3 Bilstein Sports
E36 M3 strut mounts (redrilled by previous owner to reduce the ridiculous amount of negative camber that they would cause, about to replace these with GC plates because sketchy)
E36 M3 96+ front control arms (I hope...)
E36 M3 brakes, hubs, knuckles
Offset poly CABs
Ireland E30 M3/E36 M3 style adjustable sway bar drop links

Rear:
Z3 1.9l trailing arms (I think...)
Z3 1.9l brakes, hubs (I also think..)
E30 rear Bilstein Sports
Welded in sway bar mount reinforcement
Welded in some weird shit for the damper and idk why, I think it might be to clear the drive axles which isn't necessary

...Pretty sure the guy who owned my car like two owners ago had no clue what he was doing. If you look carefully you can see the misaligned passenger door (unoriginal) and giant dent behind it :D.



Also heads up for those who run e30 springs, apparently this is okay but I was kinda sketched out about it:

[mohamed...]

Spindle sleeves with brake caliper adapters sold by max. Running e36 front hubs and brakes but will upgrade to e46 330 when i have the money. For the rear i used m3 hubs with rongineers rear caliper adapters for e39 calipers and e46 325i rear rotor. I also have the 750 master cylinder. Car is on ground controls with IE 25\22 sway bars and all condor everything. Wheels are e39 style 5s with 235\40

My whole setup as of now is e36 M3 front wheel hubs, steering knuckles, brakes, control arms, and M Coupe strut towers, dampers, and springs. Wheels are slightly offset towards the rear. Rear is complete Z3 1.9l trailing arm assembly including brakes, and Eibach Pro Kit/Bilstein Sports. Ireland Engineering 22mm/19mm sway kit is on the way. I believe I have 10/15mm spacers (not sure which, didn't measure) with E36 M3 DSII wheels.

Pic from before I refreshed the front end with a new bumper/trim paint/splitter:



If any of you have advice on front strut/damper/spring combos, please let me know. I'm not really sure how to approach upgrading it, I can't figure out what the hell my M Coupe front spring rates are. Is it true that I can use any 96+ e36 M3 damper/spring setup? What are the issues with caster/wheel fitment that I've heard and how are they remedied?

I'm currently researching rear options as well, my Eibach Pro Kits are WAY too soft. I think I might look into a set of Ireland Engineering rear adjustable spring perches and 2 1/4" custom springs.

Pic for reference of the squat I get when really on it:
