I have been driving my 5 lug swap car for a few weeks now .....
front-- e36 coilovers (raceland)
non M brakes
97 &up control arms
E30 M3 lollipops
E36 steeringrack
wheels are 17x8 style 5 BBS e34 fittment ET 20 somrthin.
after rolling the hell out of the fenders front and rear, smashing the firewall in with a 15 lb. sledgehammer the front doesnt really rub too much anymore..... I understand the offset is wrong- should be et 40 or so.
so now to the FACTS..
at around 140 kmh the car is so loose due to the lack of caster I have to drive with my fingertips in curves. At 180 and above even in a straight line the car is so loose I am scared to go any faster.
end statement.... DO NOT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the suspension geometry is so off the car will feel like crap unless its just a cruiser not planned to drive over 40 mph.
ohh, btw I am a sevice tech at a dealer over here in Germany and have had the car on our less than 1 year old rack a few times
