    FUCK! The 96+ arms didn't do much?

    Ah fuck it, I'll try em anyway. Between that, the offset bushings, and the custom brackets I gotta at least be close.

    Kyle, search under my name and you will find a complete writeup of the swap. Every detail I know is in that post. It was up on my website but the site is down do to legal problems.

      96+ control arms are $140 a piece and are steel. They made a noticable difference on my car, but not enough to center the wheel
      edit, that's the price at cost

          96+ M3 control arms, offset e30 M3 bushings and move the control arm lollipop holes over ~5mm and everything should be centered
          If you want ideal and matching offsets, do what I did; 318ti rear, e36 front. e36 wheels will fit like a glove and fill both the front and rear fender wells

            Same setup I have.
            Tyre rubs on the inside of the wheel well, on the chassis rail, at full lock, prolly get some turner steering stops.
