the 5 lug conversion,, is it a M3 or ??

i have M3 conversion with new discs and pads ((oem )) ,, and the best secret IMO ..

E34 M5 Booster + mastercylender (25 mm ) VERY GOOD brakes for what i am doing,, never fade or anything at the Nordschleife,, but i am not driveng like a maniac there

I shyed away from the E34 M5 booster and MC due to cost of replacement parts. You know they don't convert to the E32 MC that is readily available and relatively inexpensive.

I used E36 parts for the conversion for the same reason. Overall reason for this was parts availability and price. As much as this is a full blown project, I still want to keep a reasonable budget, and prep for possible replacements if needed later down the road. Trailing Arms were about 110euro for the pair and spindles came from my parts car. All told, except for the coilovers, I have maybe 400euro into the conversion including wheels. I had the E46 330i brakes with new discs from another project that changed direction to 4-pot.

I have been trying to keep this car under $10k total usd for the usual reasons and would like it to not be so custom that if something breaks, I'm waiting for the part to be made or found. Labor is not included in the price tag as it is all my time when not working on someone elses project car.

It is always more fun to build a car with someone else's money............, but for mine, I would like to take it easy on the wallet.

Description covered that area. E36 M contours and E46 brakes also hint at that too.

I also set the suspension lower when I originally set the camber, then had to raise it up to move it from the garage where I was working on it to my house.

Awesome. I hate to see positive camber though, I'm sure you'll sort it out. :up:

do you have positive camber in the front?

Very likely as the post with photos earlier in this thread hint at e36 front struts, which will force one to fight both the caster/camber issue in the e30.

Have not adjusted anything but castor. Still a rolling project. When get the ride height set I'll start playing with camber for the front and rear.
