I need some advice on five lug swapping e30’s. I was thinking I’m gonna go with e46 control arms, calipers, brake rotors, e36 front knuckles, coil overs, and z4 front and rear hubs. I’m also already using a e46 power steering rack.

E46 control arms will leave the wheels hanging outside the arches, not a good look :)
