Bayside Fabrication S54 E30 Subrfame and Oil Pan Modification 2.0

I can sell the brackets separately. E36 sway bars vary in size and shape FYI. M3/325/z3/318ti are all very different.

Architecturally the bars are interchangeable on the E36.

So any E36 bar should comfortably fit if one, the m vs non M does fit.

E36M bars has a good aftermarket selection of diameters, along with stock.

So has anyone fitted a E36M front bar?

Using the S54 conversion subframe seems like a good time to see how one would fit there.. Which this is my next step..

Do you sell those brackets seperatly?

Anyone used E36 bars? Or too wide?

I wish I would have added a jack pad to my arc asylum front sub frame before I got it powder coated...

Do you have better pics of swaybar mounting?

They can be either thru bolted or welded as shown. You can see where I plug welded the holes. That is where the bolts would go.

This is exciting. I'll definitely be contacting you for my future endeavors

This looks good, glad there is another solution after Tyler disappeared. I was thankful I got mine in before that.

Going strong. Have done around 15 since I started. Currently working on a 420g trans bracket as well. Come to the facebook page s54 E30 Owners Group as this page seems kinda dead. Tons of great people on there just answer the questions and I’ll approve you.

Has anyone scaled the corners of the car to see how the weight, front to rear, is effected with this mod?

Here is my car with S54, ZF 6 Speed, Luke Box 10" sub and 2 amps without and with me in the car which is also 5 lug BBKd. Nothing done to reduce weight.

This mounts engine and steering rack in factory position. Only big change really is the sway bar relocation. Which is moving maybe 8lbs forward about 9”

The subframe or the motor? The S54 isn't light, it's going to dwarf any differences in subframe design..

The steering rack location stays the same.

100% correct. Steering rack is in exact factory position.

Any bump steer effects from changing the steering rack location?
