What Z3 parts work for 5-Lug Swap?

[RobertK]

It very possible that I will have the opportunity to purchase the entire suspension from a 97 Z3 1.9L at a very low price.

Can I use the entire suspension from a Z3 to do the 5 lug swap or will I have to mix and match?

i think you can just bolt up the rear. the front though is the same as the e36 chassis cars. not sure how to make it work.

[RobertK]

Doesn't the front suspension from an E36 swap out into a E30? So I guess that means if the Z3 uses the same front suspension as the E36 then all the suspension should swap out eh?

Where the hell is Jordan at? I'm sure he would know.. or at least offer a smartass comment about it. ;)

he will tell you jump off a building into a little cup of water for wanting to put the e36 front susp. on your car.

Anyone else known anything about this?

Rear suspension should swap right over. For the front, E36 struts is what you want. I 'think' the Z3 struts are too short....or something like that.
