Stock Housings with hubs with Rotors:


Thank you!

[VAPORBLADE]

After I get them I am sending them to ground control! ;)

Offer him $200, but get me his number if he says NO ;)

[VAPORBLADE]

haha!

Well I called him back - he had priced out a few things he had laying around. M3 springs, housings, swaybar, brakes, and hubs. LOL. Before I heard the price I said to him "I only need hubs and strut housings." So he is calling me with a price. I guess he has a set of housings that he cut the spring perch off already...so that will be cool for the GC set-up.

Do I need the sway bar from the M3 if I do the swap to e30 strut housings?

[BUDNUNTA]

no, it is an upgrade over stock. make sure you get the swaybar links.

[VAPORBLADE]

Cool - thank you!

Make sure you get the steering knuckles. They attach to the bottom of the strut tube with four bolts. The 4 lug strut housings have these permanently attached, but on the 5 lug housing, you have to bolt them on separately.

The guy is milking it - now he wants to put a bilstein coil over kit on it just to sell me the housings. :roll:

And thank god you do. That's the #1 benefit to the 5-lug setup... the only thing you can't do with 4 lug struts.
