M3 E30 5 lug questions

[Johan99]

Can I use my existing shocks/springs if I mount 5 lug with m3 parts? Or how much do I have to change? Do I have to change control arms?

Hope you can help me :)

you can reuse everything, just bolt everything on.

You're going to need the e30 M3 front sway bar links if you don't have them as they bolt to the strut housing and not the control arm like the regular e30.

You do not have to change control arms.

If he keeps the old E30 control arms as you suggest, then he does not NEED the m3 style front bar links, he can leave it mounted where it is already. Or am I missing something?

You're not missing anything, they are not 100% necessary. But I feel if you have the tabs on the strut housing, you might as well use them.

This is what I am thinking with mine, glad you clarified that broad statement... I want the height-adjustable ones so you can actually level out the bars. Lots of decent vendors for those.
