What are your goals? The five stud conversion isn't necessary for good handling.

Or good for wheel choice.

I have had a full M3 set up ready to fit. I fully refurd'd it. I then realised that the only advantage was bigger rear disc's.

I sold it on.

I have 4 pot WMS calipers, alloy set up on the front, You can't do this upgrade with M3 set up.

+1 for Dezzys comments, the favourite reason for 5 stud is "more choice of wheels" which is true but 99% of that bigger choice looks shite on an E30.
