Im in the process of collecting bits for my 5 stud swap, I currently have evo lca's and I have evo struts hubs and brakes sourced, but im after being offered new e46 330d bc coilovers for free (my father) will the e46 struts fit the e36 hubs, and if not I presume you can fit the e46 hubs to the e36 m3 evo lca's?

E46 stuts will not fit e36 hubs as they completely differant.
I don't think you can use complete e46 stuts and hubs on an e30 either,but someone on here may know if its possible or not.

It prob is possible to use e46 struts and e46 hubs, but you'd need to use e30 top mounts on the coilovers. Prob not worth it tbh.

Yeah I know about the top mounts, but I figured you see lads putting e46 arms on e36's for more lock so in theory you could mount the 46 hubs on the 36 arms???
