Ok man rear brake question... your list says that if the Ti/1.9Z3 hubs are used, you have to use rotors from the same vehicle, and cant use 6cyl. Z3 rotors (and vice versa)?
I am trying to gather together the rear parts.. sofar I have ordered Z3 6cyl. hub flanges, and I have a set of rear E36 calipers. Also I priced out FAG bearings for only 50 bucks a side.
A guy on another forum offered me the rear brakes hes taking off his Ti. solid rear rotors for a pre-98 318Ti and calipers. I know i can use the Ti calipers/brackets (and you said i can use ANY e36 caliper right?), But will these Ti rotors work with the Z3 hubs? not according to your parts list but others have claimed to use either/or rotor on the same car

Just wanted to add this here too!!!!
don't know if you guys over there have the 4cyl. Z3--1.9 (i don't think so)-- but for the euro guys here-- I learned something today!!
Z3 hubs from the 4 CYL. will NOT fit into the e30 hubs--unless you are using the smaller/earlier arms.-- same situation as the 318ti stuff.
the 1.9 Z3 hub has a diameter of 39mm---

Have you looked into using e36 M3 rotors and calipers? When I have more time I'll compare PNs on realoem, and after I kill some more cars I can pull the M3 out and check crossover compatibility, and the same for e36 325i rear components.
This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.

no, older e30 have higher rear wheel arches...
And wheels that don't fit are Style 65 on the pic in first post... They are ET15. And I have another set of Sport Editions, but they don't fit, because they just don't look as good as I thought they would. I may have to doodle on the to enhance looks.

Hey,
I am looking at some 5 lug options for sir kombi (touring) I've got a line on some e30M3 front struts, but I don't want to spend a stupid amount (ie new from the dealer) getting the rear 5 lug. Hence why I've been thinking at using z3 6cyl hubs instead of m3 units. I'm guessing that the difference in offset between e30m3 and z3 rear suspension is because the hub is different? If this is the case, can this hub be modified (by a machine shop or so) to get it down to e30M3 offset? I have never had one in my hand so I have no idea what makes the Z3 piece sit roughly 20MM out further than it's M3 counterpart. Any input? i'm guessing the rear M3 haubs are about 400-500 for both at the stealer?
CLIFF NOTES:
Can I make a e30 m3 rear 5 lug conversion with a modified z3 hub (I have access to rear m3 rotors, pads and calipers)
Thanks,
Julien
