Do E30 front wishbones fit an E36 as some threads suggest?

Both need doing on my Is. E36 lemforder items come in at a ton on ECP, the e30 lemforders are only £77. Would be nice if they did as that means I could afford the lollipops and drop links too.

i have e30 wishbones on my e36 328i - apparently they last longer as the e36 balljoints are encased in rubber and the e30 ones arent!

Presumably the e30 lollipop bushes will also fit?

Why not just change the nasty OE E36 balljoints and fit the E30 style Meyle heavy duty ones ? app £12 each from ECP. With the tool they can be done in less than an hour a side.

Try contacting the zone ECP guy ( meatballs82 ? ) for a discount - I bought a pair of Lemforder E30 wisbones a few months ago - £44.95+VAT with discount each.

And if you're gonna do the droplinks I'd be going down the Febi Ford Mondeo rears rather than the E30 design -

cheers' I'll send him a message.

Drop links, i haven't checked the condition of them yet, I'm sure i did them when i bought it so they might be ok. I'll keep that in mind though.

those drop links are a nice idea, i presume they would fit an e30 as well?
