[Brianmoooore]

Simple answer is fit M3 E30 suspension.

i've found a breakdown for this using e36 compnents i'll send you the link when i get my internet back on tuesday

Thats only a simple answer if you can find some e30 m3 suspension

the guy in the link used z3m parts you can also use e36 front legs and e36 compact rear trailing arms for this conversion which are a lot easier to find at a breakers yard hope this helps

[KINGOFSNAKE]

cheers , any help is appreciated. the m3 option sounds expensive, but you never know

from the sounds of it tho, best left well alone..

total and utter waste of time just to fit different wheels

would this not be easier and cheaper, a lot cheaper

thanx for all the replies, my suspensions shagged so ive got to change it, and my e36 (which i dont like that much)
has these beautiful wheels on from bmw almost alpina style so i would like to keep them. the convertor mentioned
by sideways jon sounds perfect. if you listen carefully you can hear me reaching for my tape measure to see if that way is possible

it's your neck you'll be risking (plus those of the odd pedestrian and other motorist).

[KINGOFSNAKE]

not quite sure what the last message meant,

[Jhonno]

there is a major difference between changin the suspension and a 5 lug swap.. seriously, step away, its for the best
