Does the rear F8x bbk fit though? The rear brakes are a pretty big limiting factor in changing if you don't want to totally throw off bias.

Do you know if you can use the standard callipers and discs with the F8X knuckles? What front arms can you use? E9X M3 ones? And what suspension can you then use? 1M suspension kits? (Assuming you have rear M3 arms.) Apologies for all the questions, I've not been finding too much information as people call the knuckle/spindle/upright all sorts of different things.
An F8X brake front and rear conversion has been done by a member of the UK forum. I don't have too many details though unfortunately. He created a rear bracket for the rears to fit.
