Problem with both KOS and Stevetiggers suggestions is that we here in South Africa never had any of the models (E30 M3 E36 Compact) mentioned. Damn I can do nasty things to BMW SA' s managment for not bringing the E30 M3 to our shores
So there are a few other suggestions. Here goes.
1. 325Box, you need to source a 325IS suspension.
2. Redrill the hubs
3. Adaptor plates
I am also interested in this mod

Cam you literally just offer up the z3/4 or compact suspension and it will mount ok on the steering rack, wishbones and the arb links up front. And what about the rear. Is there a combination of bits you need?

i wonder if this would correct + camber from lowering because in the photo it looks like the hub is at a different angle 


1987 2.7l e30 m20b27 supercharging
1991 3.5l e30 m30b35 it is dead so sad
1985 3.5l e23 m30b35
It does fit, no problem there. You can just drive the car, no problem either. You just will lose front end grip because of the castor. If it's a street machine then you might not even notice it. The E30 already understeers from the factory and now you make it understeer even more. There are people who are racing with this kind of set-up, but it doesn't mean it drives really well. It can be corrected with massive neg camber, but that's only usefull for racingcars.

It does, trust me! When taken on a track and driven smoothly and precisely for fast laps, it tends towards understeer. Oversteer arrives with heavy-footedness and raggy steering (And naturally unpredicable road surfaces when not on the track!). A slight tendancy towards understeer when driven properly is the sign of a very well set up car you know!kam-325i wrote:Never noticed that before.....Aico wrote: The E30 already understeers from the factory and now you make it understeer even more.
