Upgraded rear m arms?

How come nobody changes the rear arms to m3 ones and only the fronts?

Rear is 5 link and the front has only 2.

With the rears one is the same, one is not interchangeable (toe arm) and one requires different rear dampers (lower arm). Changing just two of them will not have as much of an effect as the front does.

Add into that the front arms increase camber whereas the rears will still give you the same limits with regards to geometry. IMO you'll feel a much bigger improvement doing the subframe mounts and front arms. I doubt you'll feel much of a change doing the rears.

Coming from a guy who has a full m3 rear end on his with poly subframe bushes

Cheers mate. I'm getting the fronts changed, just waiting on Phil to take his off unless will be buying new.

You ever had many issues with your meth kit?

I'll have front and rear for sale.

The rears are worth doing as they have the stiffer m3 bushes. I had a bush fail so decided to go with the rears too..

The fronts are necessary to run more camber as mentioned.
