Hi guys

I'm fitting a z3 rack to my e30 which has new z3 control arms fitted, are these ok to use or do I have to replace them with e30 ones ?

Thanks in advance

Z3 ones are fine, I've used them on my conversion. Same as E36 ones.

Make sure you replace the outer ball joints with Meyle HD version because the original e36 design is poor and wears out much faster and has play from new compared to the e30 style one.

Do you mean lower wishbones or track rods?
