Question e30 front strut bearings

[kylebes1]

Will e36 and e46 rear shock mounts fit the e30? Will i tbe worth it? I will be running Bilstin Sports and Eibach Pros.

[e30Matt]

Yes, and no. Bilstein Sports will go through those RSMs just as quickly as the stock pieces. Invest in some billet/urethane pieces, such as the IE ones.

[kylebes1]

waht about e46 convertibles?

how much are good ones>?

[kylebes1]

what about JTD? they are on ebay at 32.50

[e30Matt]

The IE billet/urethane pieces are $90 a pair.

I doubt bilsteins would go through E46 mounts. I've got about 16k on my E46 cabby mounts with konis set to full stiff and they've held up fine (I also drive one of the heaviest E30s).

[kylebes1]

I have to save as much as I can for the m50.

If the e46 cabbys eill last I'll got to the dealer I guess or this parts guy.

I plan to put either the z3 or mroadster suspension and brakes and 17" wheels next summer so I will use adjustible camber on front and back then, really put soem cash into for a perminent set

[kylebes1]

anyone disaprove ebay for this stuff?

[kylebes1]

what about strut bearings? any will do>?

[Jordan]

I have e46 M3 RSM's on my e30.

They are holding up just peachy.

I've had e46 mounts for like two years now. They haven't busted and they're holding up fine.

Just make sure you install the cupped washers right. Opening upwards on top and downwards on bottom (should be part of the protective sleeve on bottom).

FYI: Upper strut bearings are different than rear shock mounts. I'll send you an extra set of strut bearings simply because I have nothing else to do with them.

[kylebes1]

I know they are diff.

thanks alot man!!! Freebee!!
