I've been busy recently, but decided a while ago to go 5-Lug on my 4dr. 318i, along with a more powerful engine at some point in the future.
Anyways, the reason I've been sourcing E36 stuff is because my dad's Turbo 318is currently uses E36 stuff (Coilovers, MZ3 Rear stuff, etc.) so it will make swapping wheels and tires easier instead of having to use E30M3 stuff. I know, I know, the geometry will be incorrect and blah blah blah. The fact is I've tracked my dad's turbo car with no ill effects, so I feel safe doing so in my own car.
So here is some of the stuff I've collected, and what I plan on ordering sometime this week:
Have so far:
97 M3 Front Strut Housings (spring perches cut & gutted for E36 Koni Inserts, already sandblasted and soon to be powdercoated)
E36 M3 Front Brakes (Calipers, Rotors, Knuckle, Hub)
Ground Control E36 318ti Coilover Kit (440F/650R)
E36 318ti Rear Trailing Arms (w/ all associated brakes, etc.)
ASA AR2 17x8 et38 w/ 235/40-17 Azenis
Ordering this week:
Koni E36 M3 Front Inserts
Koni E30/ti Rear Shocks
AKG 12mm Rear Shock mounts, 80D Rear Subframe bushings, Trailing Arm Bushings & Diff Mount
97+ M3 LCA's
THR LCAB's
E36 Rack (3.2 turns lock-to-lock)
Vorschlag E30 Camber Plates
This sound about right to you guys? Anything else 'yall think I need?
I'll update with pics when I end up installing everything.
