E28 ???

[SA E30]

Ok, I heard some where that the E30 M3 uses E28 hubs, and brakes ? If this is true, wouldn't u be able to use the parts of an E28 then to do a 5 hole conversion ?

It's not that simple. Some parts are shared, alot is still different though.

Thanks, so the easiest way would probably be to do the Z3 rear, and E36 front conversion.

FWIW. I am using the MZ3 rear suspension/brakes.

After much research and conversation about the e36 front I said "fuck that"

It's so expensive to do it "right" and even then you are dealing with whacked out geometry.

I chose to go with e30 M3 front strut assemblies, with the SBI rotor spacers so I could still have the e36 M3 brakes. Best of both worlds.

What's the difference between MZ3 and Z3 rear supsension? Track width?

Much larger brakes. Reenforced trailing arms, larger wheel bearings, etc.

So for me I would then go with the Z3 Trailing arms, and then possibly 325iS Evo Struts... BTW what do u mean when u say struts ?

Thanks

Strut tube assembly. Wheel bearing up to spring perch.
