Another 5lug option? | Now for the rear too!

[Max399]

Hello guys, i would like to know your opinion about a thing.
A local motorsport company here, where i live produces adapters, so you could put on an E36 bearing and brakes.

EDIT: Buy thread here - http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=306268
EDIT2: Rear adapters available! More info in the FS thread!

It looks like this:



As far as specs go, you can put any E36 bearing on the E30 strut, and also use any of the non-M3 E36 and E46 brakes. So what is your opinion about it?
As far as i've looked - it looks solid. Cars using it also seem to have no problems.. And its cheaper than an M3 setup :)

Anything for the rear?

[Max399]

Compact trailing arms usualy, but i will try asking if they make any custom adapters.

Does the disc clear the tie rod's ball joint with that setup?

I dont see why it shouldn't.

How much?

[Max399]

200$ shipped, for the kit, ie everything in the first picture. But keep in mind you will still need new bearings, brake disks, calipers and ofcourse 5-lug wheels.

$200 shipped? Damn that's a steal! What kind of offset would this require? E36 offsets I'm assuming

[Max399]

Guys, message me all the questions you got, and il ask them on Monday, ok? :)

[Max399]

Ok, so got a quote on the offsets. After installing these adapters, the front will be 12mm wider on each side. E36 or E46 bearings can be used.

So this is using a sleeve over the stock spindle that allows you to put larger bearings/hub on?

[Max399]

Yes, exactly. Also a bracket to allow you to use the caliper for larger disks.
