JRZ suspension retrofit from F82 to E92??

Anyone know what is the different between the JRZ kit btw M4(f82) and our M3(e92)?

A local friend is parting out his F82.
I want to know if the JRZ coilover for F82 could be retrofit to my ZCP E92.
Even if it could be retrofit, will it work correctly?

Thanks for any input!!

You should call JRZ.

but my initial reaction is no. if the front shock length is the same then you'd only need new top mounts.

I think the rear would be totally different since the two cars have different top mount styles in the rear.

Agreed, if they were swapable they would be noted on JRZs site. But because both cars have different specs I highly doubt they will be able to work.

These higher-end dampers are usually more generic than you'd think in terms of fitment. They may only need a different top mount and bottom insert sleeve for the struts, and a different rear top mount setup. Call JRZ.

I contacted JRZ.
They said it could be done.
However, the retrofit be pricey.

I end up with a set of used JRZ RS Pro designed for my E92 .

Guys, Thanks for the input!!

great setup. I have RS Pros for the F80.

I have some badass AST's for my E92 but the JRZ's are a step up.
