I have not kept up on these cars, I see there's a hub conversion to give more rear room, does this help get the front/rears square? the car will need refreshing so it would be a perfect time to do that and m3 front arms along with lots of stiffer bushings.

car has the following already done, typical n54 it likes to be shifted at 6k

7” VRSF HD intercooler
3” VRSF catless downpipes
Aluminum charge pipe with Tial BOV
MHD stage 2+ tune
Koni shocks and struts with H & R lowering springs
People do it for wheel fitment... It makes the F:R track width difference worse even if it does allow you to fit a "square" wheel and tire setup on the car. Front requires a low offset to clean the strut and rear requires a high offset to clear the quarter panel. So long as you are aware of this you can tune the suspension accordingly.
