That's interesting. I did 6 months of research before beginning to buy parts and I didn't come across this. Do you have more details? I don't want to get stuck without the right parts as I'm putting things back together.

Maybe you're referring to the fact that 135 and M3/1M toe arms are different lengths so, unlike the other rear arms that are 100% interchangeable, the toe arms are not. In my case, though, I'm using full M3 components including hubs and axles so there's no snag there. The problem arises when adding M3 arms to a stock 135 rear suspension as an "upgrade".
