Hey guys, was wondering if anyone around has done a 5 lug swap on a e30 318i? I'm aware the 318i came with drum brakes in the rear. I think this is going to be the cheapest way to upgrade all the brakes for certification, as the e30 I am looking at buying has a pretty hefty engine conversion. What I'm hoping for is some way to do it with parts I can find at a local pick-a-part or similar (e36, e46 parts). Should I just take the entire rear assembly from an e36 and mix and match parts from the e30 or? I'm aware theres a bunch of ways to do it from having a look on the net but I'm not sure any of them work with the rear drum brakes on the 318i. I could go the route of purchasing a big brake kit for the certification but that costs like $1200 just for the front OR rear. Im happy to spend about that to do front AND rear. If anyone could give me some guidance (i.e. parts list, etc) that would be super helpful. Cheers.
