Not sure how genuine this is:

About 1/2 way down the page - looks pretty good to me...

Now i'm not sure that these are even E30 given the unique mounting point - looks as though the subframe bush passes through the actual trailing arm as apposed to the beam???

That said the bracing looks the same so thought the pic may be useful

Anyone know what these are off?

Those are e30 arms, the outer bush tube is replaced with an adjuster barrel to tweek camber and toe all in one, Here is a usefull site with pictures of dtm suspension.

Cheers guys, there are two braces that run along the top of the arms on some of the cars which also pick up on the spring mount, has anyone got pics of those?
