has anyone tried fitting an entire front corner from a e46M onto an e30?
I know the front Aluminum A arms are done by some (and akg sells adaptive bushings for them)
but if the arm bolts on; the E46 tie rod end can be bolted to whatever rack desired
(our race E30 has a e46/z4 rack currently with e36 tie rod end to use with e30 strut and hub)
IF the Tie rod end/ steering rack is e46, the e46 hub will mate with it properly
if the e46 aluminum lower A arm is used then a e46 knuckle will also fit perfectly (although might be in very wrong place for an e30)
a E46 front coilover setup is easily adapted to e30 top hat with a phone call to ground control.
just wondering if this idear of frankensteining has been tried (and if it will do similar to the e36m 5 lug effect)
the e46 has the shock slip fit into the knuckle; its more similar to an e30 setup in mechanism than a e36 is (IMO)
