I just have a couple questions about the 5 lug swap, front portion. I'm going the e36 route. I bought it from someone who said they had it bolted to their e30 for quite some time.
I have currently:
92 e36 Bilstein Struts with BavAuto Springs (The ones with the tab for the sway bar link, VNE-4418)
e36 (i think) Spindles 187/
MZ3 Control Arms 455/456 (need offset bushings)
e36 non-m Brakes BMW 54/22
My questions are:
1. Would it be advantages to mount my 21mm sway bar to the strut using the e36 links? OR should I stick with the short CA links?
2. I've read conflicting articles on whether or not the Non-M spindles will work correctly, even with the later M control arms and offset CABs. I have a set of the later M3 spindles, and all the mounting points seem extremely close to what I have but I've read the caster is different as well as the caliper carrier mounting. I would love the M3 brakes but the standard e36 ones are still an improvement, and if I can run them I will.
Thanks for your help!
