I should be picking up a new ride/hieght adjustable coilover kit for my convertible and I was wondering when fitting the kit is there any thing else that I should change whilst the suspension off?? Im gona change the top shock mounts both rear and fronts, I have heard the I can use E46 M3 mounts? is this true??

Just to note the the car is not going to be used for any track and racing purpose!

Any feed back would be much appriciated

You can fit E46 M3 Cab REAR shock top mounts, and while i was there, i'd check the a/r bar bushes and links.
Maybe fit some offset poly/ E30 M3 rear wishbone bushes also while youre there.

change the ARB bushes as well and get new ARB link arms from Europarts or GSF..they are always worn

Nope, E46 fronts wont fit, just get replacement OEM ones if they are worn, or trick camber adjust ones etc are available if you search the net.
