    Upgraded Axles

    Hi Guys,
    Do any of you know if there is an upgrade to stock axles?

        mz3 is larger than stock (u joints, and actual diameter)

        you can use mz3 differential output flanges, z3m axles, and z3m rear hubs, and get a 5 lug setup for the rear

          With an MZ3 setup, you can use Euro M3 halfshafts, which are the same thickness, but are hollow - thus being lighter and stiffer.

            you could do the e28 shafts since they bolt to the hub of the wheel...

              I have a set of MZ3 half shafts what else would I need to install these? I also have a set of e36 rear trailing arms and hubs

              Oh and I forgot to mention that it is on an e30 m3 so it is already 5 lug
