ever since update I've been getting a lot less PMs. Feeling unloved.

[Aptyp]

thank you, sir. Didn't even notice it, but it's fixed now.

Just a heads up, the HTML link at the bottom has a "-" between 5 and lug.

Can someone coin in and give me some info/advice on what to buy?

I am building a track e30, I am also swapping over my e30 GC setup. Can I use the coils and buy some other shocks and struts?

I have quite a few e36 325i in the junk yard. I can source the fronts for 30 a side. Or can I just use the E30 housings with e36 hubs?

I then would need 318ti rears?

I read up on it but mostly everyone goes M3. Should I just wait and get the M3 front housings? Or can I swap over the M3 brakes?

I bought 16'' BBS RS 5x112 would these fit the M3 brakes?

Also should I go with the e36 CAs?

Improved HTML file, so this is an update.

Check it out, I'm pretty proud of it.

Not the original source that I had mentioned but it renews my hope. I guess when I can afford the downtime I'll pull my e30 subframe and compare.

I see only one problem with that post: running 15" is impossible on m3 rear brakes...

founf out why my rear alignment has been messed up... one of my adjustable sway bar links was broken, so one side pulled as other side decompressed a little.

Don't know how I didn't notice it for months.

I remember hearing a while back that the crossmember is ever-so-slightly longer (wider) for the E36/5 and /7 chassis. IIRC it was a friend who is now running Z3 2.8 rear suspension who tried using the Z3 crossmember and found that it would not work.

I remember reading that using the bushings from an e30 you could install a MZ3 subframe but I can't recall where I read that.

great question... I don't know for sure, I've never had them side by side.
