M Coupe suspension?

This may be posted elsewhere, but her it goes anyways. Does E46 M3 supension fit on our cars? Any modifications needed? Problems with doing this? Bad idea? Any info would be great, not a whole lot of it floating around for the M Coupes.

Thanks

Rear will probably fit. The front Will NOT.

I would assume he's just looking for more aftermarket options for the Z.

i am not sooo sure on this, but from what i have reasearched:
  • the front struts are similar to e36 m3 front struts. The actual shaft length is however a little shorter, but i do not know by how much.
  • the top mounts are e46 mounts since everywhere i went to look for camber plates, i saw that the sites always had the part for the e46 in the z4 category.
  • the rear shocks are the same as the e46 as well as the mounting brakets i believe as well from my reasearch.

Next question, do you think there would be any interest if I were to sell my stock suspension? What would a fair price be?
