Caster opinion

[Kilawin]

I currently have '95 M3 control arms with offset CAB's. Would 96+ arms move my caster noticeably forward or should I just get blank CAB's from treehouse and make my own hole locations. Thanks

96+ arms will get it centered perfectly.

96+ arms will get it centered mostly.

fixed.







I've always wanted to do that.

fixed.

+1

My reply was going to be "Close , but no cigar" . :D

Damn does every 318 d'schwartz have mis colored doors?

lol mine does from acid rain in 91'

But back on to topic it will center them better, but like others say not perfrctly.

oh btw your car looks pretty sick

mine is not perfect with e36 m6 97+ arms and offset bucshings. i have got a set of blank tree house racing cab's that i plan to install this winter.

Although they are nice pieces the THR eybeall arms will NOT provide anymore caster over offset bushings .
They are made to the M3 offset specs .

But they eill provide lots of feedback, last a lifetime and will give more exhaust clearance .

Good info dood. Thank you for RE-CLARIFYING that about the THR units.

On a side note about the "feedback," is it too much for a DD or would you never look back after using them?

the treehouse racing cab's that i ordered are not drilled and therefore are infinetly adjustable at this point.

i will take measurements to see how forward i want the wheel compared to my current setup. then i will drill the bushing(we have some good equipment at the shop) then install them.

i think i'd like to move the front wheels 5mm more forward and i think this will solve it for sure.

this is a one shot deal. if i screw up the measurement then it is no better than just slotting the factory ones.

DEFINITELY post details on this, cause this could relly help us with the E36M3-based 5-lug swap. Can you get before and after measurements of everything, and pics, and alignment specs before and after? I know I am asking a lot :P
