I was planning on using 330 front brakes and hoping not to swap knuckles and hubs etc. Am I missing something here? Thanks!

At the very least you will need M3 upper spring perches to make that work. I also suggest offset lower control arm bushings and M3 upper strut mounts.

The 330 set up is nice but the M3 set up is a lot better. Compared to the 330 set up the M3 set up is lighter, has a larger piston, directionally vented rotors and the required steering knuckle improves suspension and steering geometry.

I sell a top side adjustable rear Koni for the ti. I prefer that to the remove-to-adjust off the shelf units.

Happy to help with your set up, just shoot me an email.
