You could try giving Jhonno a PM
He's been on about doing the same thing to his 5 stud conversion on the 24 valver.

I don't know how far he's gotten with it yet though, but could be worth a try.

The calipers will go straight on..

The disks can go on if you get special hubcentric adapters behind the disk, though this means you need E36 offset wheels. The option that was going to put on my car and jhonnos is a wilwwod disk of the correct dimensions, with custom machined aluminium hats. This would retain the E30 M3 offset wheels.

Its just I have the e36 m3 evo donor car and was hoping to use the brakes off that ,
I guess spacers will be cheaper than disc's and caliper's ( I hope)

Because E36 setup costs about £400, and fits behind more wheels..

SBi used to..

You need a 13mm spacer behind the disc to bolt it all straight on..

I am going 2 piece bell and rotor setup as it is lighter and I can have a spacer built in, sadly my M-Systems don't clear the calipers

No they wont, completely different setup

I have a drawing and 3D CAD model for the spacer. But you have to be aware that your track will increase 12.5mm EACH side. But it will fit under 16" rims, you just need to make some spacers for the rear and run E36 wheel offset

Or you could fit the MCoupé swingarms and get matching brakes for the rear (The MCoupé rear brakes are the same as the E36M3).... This was my original plan for my car, but now I'm fitting E36 front components.
