And the M3 arms pushed out the wheels about 10mm and forward about the same. Rubbed badly on dips.

Hope you have better luck.
Well yeah you made a terrible choice. M3 arms and B4 shocks? That's like getting your car ready for the track but putting on chinese all season tires the day of. Poor shock choice.

Also my ride was really uncomfortable for about a week when I allowed the ride to settle before I got an alignment.

When I did my B6's many years ago, the ride is a bit 'brittle' for the first several hundred miles. Then they break in and the car is extremely solid.

Hi, this is probably the most recent thread about it...
I need to replace front tension struts and thinking to get either OE Lemforder or TRW struts from "upgrade" kit.
Can I replace just these struts and not the full kit?

You can pretty much buy and replace all the individual parts. From my experience I'd buy more parts if you think they are worn out. If you're over 120k miles for sure. This exact situation is happening to me right now and it's throwing off my alignment badly. I've got new m3 arms, tie-rods, wheel bearing, and misc. stuff but now my struts are blown. Should have replaced them when I did the arms and had everything apart. Cheers.
