I carry centered urethane bushings and 100% solid rubber lower control arm bushings (M3 bushings are not totally solid) when I can get them in stock. I sell the urethane, delrin, and every stock bushing pre-pressed into new backets for easy install.

I do not suggest bolting the sway bar to the E30 M3 aluminum arms as they were not designed for that. E30 M3 arms should be used in conjunction with strut mounted sway bar links.

There are also several fixed camber plate solutions from Turner, Dinan, and using the OEM 96-99 E36 M3 mounts (spring clearance may be an issue with the M3 mounts).

| Club Sport bars are the same as Sport Package bars. Dinan also makes bars. 27mm front and 22mm rear. Z3 M Coupe rear bar is a great upgrade for a non-coil over car. 19mm Quote: Originally Posted by DustenT (Post 110676) Who makes rear shock mounts (RSMs)? - Ground control (urethane) - e46 m3 cabrio RSMs - Koala Motorsports (koalamotorsports.com) - TcKline- Buna rubber or solid spherical for race applications | Ireland makes billet/urethane rear shock mounts that work great and they come with reinforcement plates. You can also upgrade to factory E46 M3 rear shock mounts with factory reinforcement plates from the Z3.

Ireland also has urethane mounts. For mixed street/track use I prefer OE solid rubber or OE MZ3 mounts. They transfer MUCH less noise and stress. |
