well you can convert the X3 to 4x100mm swaping everything from the LC...



I did a big brake conversion with everything from a RD Tiburón...

The front is plug and play, just swap the steering knuckle for the back is much more complicated.



You basically have two options, or you make a base to hold the caliper and modify the hub to use the caliper.

I used the whole knuckle, the shock absorbers and the springs from a RD. If you do it like this you have to modify one of the rear suspension arms (I can't remember wish one) because the RD knuckle is a little wider. Use the trailing arm from the RD. Also I used the shock absorbers and the spring from the RD but the bracket assy from the X3.



And you have to use the emergency cables from the RD.



CONS the wheels will stick out. It dose not bother me because I don't carry anything that heavy or people in the backseat.



THANKS to BetaRD2 with helping me with the translations!
