Can someone point me in the right direction on hub modification to increase lock on my e30?
What else is needed to be modified in order to run 'em?
People keep saying other things need changing but they don't know what...

You need to start off with a rack that will give you the desired lock your after before you can look at the hub/leg/offset needed.

Best way is go find a rack, ie from a TX1, make it fit then work from there.

There's some info here. I'd be having a very good man with a tig welder doing any of the welding on steering suspension parts if you decide to go that way!

Thanks a lot for sourcing that out :-).
I've got a few people who do a lot of custom and bespoke parts so it shouldn't be too hard for them to do ;-) (I hope)

Will standard e36 front hubs work? I've only ever found people saying e30 M3 or e36 M3 evo hubs.
