I have an S52 in my TI and a ground control suspension. I need to replace the Rear Subframe bushings and have heard that swapping out the TI subframe for an M Coupe/Roadster is a good idea since it's stronger. I have a couple questions before I go forward with it.

1. What do I need to look for? I've seen posts for people parting out M coupes, but would I just ask to buy the rear subframe? Are there any other parts needed from the M coupe?

2. Will I need to replace the rear suspension I currently have on the car? What about the rear brakes?

Thanks!
