What is the secret to getting the front wheel centered?

This is kind of off the subject, however, if I simply swapped out the parts from an E36 without any other modifications would my E30 be suitable for cruising or low-speed short trips? I thought about doing a 5-lug swap on what will become my future "show" car, however, the overall function will not be that big of a deal since I plan on carting it around on the trailer 90% of the time.

If you are only planning on doing it for show, then why wouldn't you look into either redrilling wheels or using a 4 lug to 5 lug adapters? That would be much cheaper.

Castor is the only issue I can see you having with just slapping on the parts.

This is a the best comment. Run adapters.

I don't think they are nearly as bad as people knock.

adaptors wud be like Chef's "chocolate salty balls"... sounds cool but NO.

Thats a very good point! Thanks. And I guess if I ever really need to seriously drive the car, I can always unbolt the adapters and put the bottle caps on. The adapters look relatively safe enough for normal daily driving, however, I wouldn't trust them at highway speeds.

i assume you are speaking about caster. that is the ONLY "off factory" specs i am getting. i would recommend NOT using camber plates..... it will raise the front 1/4" (unless you use kmak) and then you are just bearly within specs at max setting. just modify the e36m3 offset bearings.....see pic below.

I did drill my car to fit the e36m3 cap but i would like to use those any way you can sell a pair and tell me what can i do now that i drill new holes and if can use the e46 control arm becouse my wheel can't turn i will apreciate....... thank
