Shipping from here may be a lot though (~$50)

I think they're buried in my shed in one of the bins out there.
Another thing is that I don't have an M20 block to mock up... Do you have one around, Chris?
I'll post a pic of the way I measure the E34 M50 mount arms (ordered!) and maybe someone can duplicate that setup with the E30 AWD M20 mount arms.Last edited by The Dark Side of Will; 05-05-2014, 05:28 AM.

Crawled under my iX and took these measurements:
CAB c-c: 25 1/8"
Ball joint c-c: 27 3/4"
Ball joint to CAB longitudinal c-c: 16"
The pivot axes are not parallel. Interesting. I wonder if that's done for ride comfort, some odd aspect of suspension geometry, or just for packaging.
Moving the ball joints without creating much bump steer will take a little more thought, but not a lot. As the rack and ball joints move forward, the ball joints will need to move inboard slightly (even enough to worry about?) to keep the same relationship between the pivot axes and inner tie rod ends.
Edit: Will also need to measure heights of CAB's and ball joints when the car's back on the ground.Last edited by The Dark Side of Will; 05-06-2014, 08:48 AM.

I didn't see anything with the diff that would stop me from moving it back - it would basically be in the same position as the E30 diff - but I didn't see how the CV shaft would hit the subframe either. :p
Meaning that the drive flange on the front end of the driveshaft stays in about the same place vs. the E30?
If you move that back, won't it interfere with the bellhousing or the bellhousing mounting flange on the oil pan?
