Right, I'm desperately trying to get my E30 ready for the German car show that I have £80 worth of tickets for!
I have the setup as follows,
E36 ti rear beam and swing arms
Rear Gaz coilovers
Front e36 m3 evo swing arms and e36 328i hubs
Front Gaz coilovers
E46 clubsport steering rack with e30 track rod ends

Iv taken it in to get the geometry setup and it's come back that it's in a right state. I'm going down there tonight to find out more but they have said that one of the rear wheels sticks out little more than the otherside plus the toe and camber is all over the place
One of the wheels on the front touches the coilover spring
And there's a problem with the usage of the rack too but at that point I stopped listening on the phone and punched my van.
What do you lot recon?

Well you need m3 evo hubs for a start, are you using offset wishbone bushes as well.

Hi jason, ok ill have to source some hubs. i dont know how i overlooked that?
im using offset wishbone bushes as well so the caster is in the right place.
looking closely it my be that i have a bent rear swing arm maybe? as one side of the rear has good camber and the other doesnt? :?:

Well it seems like one wheel has the camber expected from lowering but one is upright so I'd say your right will, it's buggered.
About the E36 M3 Evo front hubs, what is the difference between them and other hubs? They look the same?
