So I've been researching a 5 lug swap, mainly for increased selection of OEM wheels.
I'd also like larger brakes using some standard disks and pads, options are possible for both 4 and 5 lug.
The e30 M3 arrangement offers easy roll centre correction but is so rare and expensive in the UK it's not a contender.
So I'm trying to weigh up using E36 M3 control arms, hubs, brakes and dampers
OR
E30 51mm struts, dampers and control arms, with one of the sleeve kits to allow the use of a 5 stud hub and 325mm disk.
Since both allow the use of the same wheels, disks, calipers, are there any other advantages to using the later parts? I believe the control arm bushings are identical, as is the damping rate for Bilsteins?
Thanks
