The E30 lolipop bracket will fit on an E36 saloon? I'm going to fit E30 front arms to it but it would be much easier if i can leave the lolipop on and bolt the whole lot in

Ta

I haven't looked under the e36 yet too see

E30 and E36 lollipops are the same, as are Z3's.

Bolt the whole lot on. But..........could I possibly have the old lollipops? Doesn't matter if you shag the bushes as I'm putting E30 'bones and eccentric bushes on da Compact and want to fit it all in one go and not have to fuck about. I can send you my lollipops back if you want them.

e30 arms have all steel ball joints, e36 have rubber in them somewhere? and they don't last very long so i'm told.

Thats excellent Andy! You can have the old ones. The bushes are hammered and it's doing my head in!

These E30 arms are off PYF and have M3 eccentrics fitted should liven the 316 up a bit lol
