I read some info on installing the m3 mounts "swapped", but never found if also having offset control arm bushings would cause issues.
Offset (LCA) control arm bushings just give you caster, what people normally do with "swapping" the m3 top hats is to get more camber. It can also give you more caster, but only because you are moving the top of the strut back, and not because you are moving the wheels forward. I guess it depends on what your trying to do.
