Overall, the front conversion is PnP simple bolt on, even the body panels.
Front subframe does not need to be changed. Front brakes will only fit an M3 knuckle/hub carrier not the 135 carrier. When you go to an M3 knuckle you will then need an M3 strut since the 135 strut will not fit.
If you are looking to "balance" the car you need to go all in and do the front sway bar and control arms as well.
Once the front suspension is done then you want to do the 1M fenders and bumper so you can get a bigger tire on the front. I run 255 square but could easily do 265.
All you need is time, skills, tools, and more money. |
Thank you for the reply!
Looks like you completed the swap, did you have to change/upgrade the brake booster as well?
