    E30 front roll center correction

    Has anyone seen a kit or anything else like this? I don't think (I really don't know) the 30mm of outboard correction offered by the bump/ roll center correctors will be enough for how low I'd like to take my car.

      That would be an extensive kit, and certainly require a competent welder.
      Notching the front subframe and swapping to heim joints is decidedly racecar territory.

          I agree completely. What's referenced to in the link is exactly that. Really all I want to achieve is proper and even perhaps adjustable roll center using the inner pickup point. Off the top of my head, maybe a longer control arm (e46?) and a modified insert for the inner pickup point.

          I'm wondering if this exists maybe across the pond, I don't speak the other e30 European languages and don't really know how to search their forums/ local stores.

              Could this be an option? Seems a little less extreme

                      I have to say, the suspension analysis done by MRT is just a treasure. I really hope he completes the rest of it as so far it's been a very good read.
