Front is much easier and cheaper to do than the back, but it's very involved to get a 135i up to 1M specs suspension-wise. I just meant there's not much different in terms of the actual powertrain (except the differential). The wide body and the fat wheels were the biggest challenge to overcome in getting a 135i to "equal" a 1M, but that seems solved now. Same engine with mostly the same components, same tune and cooling upgrades as the PPK.. still awesome though
Are you doing the rear M3 camber link conversion?

I believe Dan from United quoted $3700 for the oem 1m kit for the 135i...If I remember quickly. I would only get the kit to run wider wheels and tires for the track.
