S52 ti - Question about Rear Suspension Has anyone done a rear subframe reinforcement for the 318ti - S52 swap? Ive heard of the M-coupe and M-roadster rear end swap, but these seem rare and thus expensive. I know a good welder who can likely gusset and reinforce the ti subframe. Im wondering if anyone has used this Izzy Differential Mount Kit? $250 for some sheetmetal... but cut to the car, seems ideal. https://www.izzyscustomcages.com/pro...nforcement-kit Looking for any and all input.... Sorry Ive done googling and information is limited outside of 'slap in an M coupe rear suspension' |
Actually just got mine in the mail yesterday. I was looking for other people's installs and that's how I found your post. |
Generally upgrading to the M coupe/roadster rear subframe is the upgrade. If you are welding on the tub, you might as well gut it and weld in a cage. Generally the 1.8/1.9 powered ti does not suffer suspension mount tears unless the car was tracked- even then it’s pretty rare. The Z3 2.8/3.0 parts fit but the track is wider. That limits tire choices unless you go “wide body” which I suppose is an option too. |
