I've put spacers at the bottom. I've used E36 track rods and ends. (Only because I bought them for an E36 I had an never fitted them).

Yes there is a Wiki.

that is what I'm using, along with cut e46 boots.

With the e46 inner and e36 outer, the stock e46 boots can be used and I think that this is the best solution.

Ideally the rack would be on the rear holes with spacer below the rack. Only if clearances allowed :cry:
