M3 bushes seem to be the preferred choice these days, now that they are no more expensive than the standard part.
Don't forget that the tracking will need setting after fitting them.

I've fitted these to my 335, is it still the same tracking angles as it would normally be?

If you don't want the aggro and expense of having to get the tracking done use E36 3.2 evo wishbone bushes. They are a similar design, IE concentric, to standard e30 bushes but much more substantial and available from your dealer for £20 as well.

Does anyone have any part numbers for these options please?
I'm hoping to get my suspension rebuilt this weekend and I think I might have left it a wee bit late for ordering from the dealer.. but I'm hopeful!

Failing part nos, what should I fit on a 325 Touring that is getting an Eibach sprung 35-40mm drop? do you need to do the front shock top mounts at the same time?
Thanks

Are the measurements the same? Anyone have the tracking settings for the car on E30 M3 bushes?

Go for the eccentric E30M3 ones which increase castor to around 9 degrees (bit nicer turn in and stability at speed)and set the total toe to 17 minutes.
