I believe the only thing wrong in this artice is that it states that a z3 subframe will bolt up to a e30. I believe Erik Lukas (spelling?) proved this to be wrond by about 1/4"

If they were interchangeable then one could just swap in a whole complete Z rear subframe .
That would make it really easy to get 5-lugs and bigger brakes .
As it is now you will have to change out the trailing arms put in the rear hubs and brakes from a Z car onto the e30 trailing arms .
Just a little more work .

So are they mounting points different for the calipers on the z3 trailing arms than the e30? If i were to press the z3 hub into the e30 arm and try to use an mroadster/m3 caliper would I have to make a custom bracket to mount it?

NOOOO
the HUB bolts to the trailing arm
the calipers bolt to the hub
use the caliper from the hub/rotor you use
you have to go all one way or all another way
edit: i misthought/misread the previous post (confused calipers/rotors - day after 4/20 I suppose) the calipers do bolt to the t-arm, so does the hub
I feel like a moron :oops:
