E30 M3

Apart from allowing for a better choice of wheels, what other reasons are there for doing this?

[nickso]

wider track, better brakes.

Ah, so you must use the whole setup from something like an e36?

no, e30 m3 suspension setup has all those.

Surely that must be hard to come by though?

Can u do the conversion using the bits from an E36 Compact??

Do they not hav the same rear set up as the E30s only 5 stud??

[jaistanley]

[owenbach]

yes i read that e36 318ti compact trailing arms will fit.and e36 front struts with adjustable top mount to set correct wheel camber.

[dips346]

e36 front struts with adjustable top mount to set correct wheel camber.

wrong

[owenbach]

wot parts are wrong cos im thinking of same conversion.dont wont to waist my money on useless parts

[Dave_M3]

It's caster you need to worry about mostly...

E36 M3 Evo wishones as well as Eccentric CAB bushes, offset topmounts and M3 Evo hubs are nearly right but still not quite perfect.

Best setup for the back is either E30 M3 hubs on the original trailing arms or else Z3m arms
