Thanks for the response. A bit late on mine
As you know, I'm slowly working on my swap.
- S52 and 5 speed swap from a M3 sedan is in progress. M44 is removed, engine area is clean, and most parts needed from J!m's manual have been ordered.
- As I mentioned earlier, I have the entire front end to the same sedan.
- If I swap the stock M3 springs, struts, front brakes, and stab bar, do I need to add H&R springs/Billy's in order to have a safe, good performing suspension?
Reason I'm asking...I read earlier that if I swap the M3 front suspension into the M44 powered compact, then the front might sit too high. But I do not know what to expect if I swap the same supension, but with a S52/tranny now in place of the M44/stock tranny.

Maybe I'm just nukin my dilema, but it just seems like its going to be easier to swap out the suspension now that there is no engine in the way, then after I'm done with the engine swap.

Thanks again.
