Hey Gents,

I've got an E30 325i sport (tech2) and i'm looking for the easiest way to get some 5stud hubs onto the front, allowing me to run bigger brakes and easier suspension mods.

So...is it possible to get e36 hubs on it, and if so, what mods are needed. If it cant be done...then fair enough, i'll not be disappointed with a 'no'. I'm just after knowing tbh.

Cheers in advance.

hmm, there's no quick answer, or at least there is, but it's an expensive one

Okay bud, cheers...thats all i needed to know.

I've got a set of Brembo 4pots and im looking into getting a set of Gaz or BK racing coilovers, buti'd have to get the discs/spacers all sorted and then i'd need measurements so i can then order the wheels from team dynamics in the right offset. S'okay, i'll get it squared away somehow.

thanks for the comeback...

BK coilovers offer more for your money, iirc, you get topmounts included in the price, with Gaz, you don't and have to pay extra.

yea, and the BK's have a seperate adjuster platform, so you dont change the spring /damper travel when changing ride height. Had XYZ Racing coilovers on my previous car and its a much better system.

Whats wrong with Rimstock's wheels too...i think they are second only to Compomotive/Speedline tbh, which are a hell of a lot more expensive.
