And why this all of differencies, the law says that maximum power for car is 20% more than the most powerful version in model series, in this case 323ti.
Then it's required to upgrade the chassis and brakes to same level than most powerful model.
Some very fast e30:s here have just standard trailing arms with no problems. Those can have alignment adjusters but no reinforcements in arm despite of using coilovers. So the deflection of trailing arms probably is not a problem. |
Interesting, we don't have any kind of power laws needing better brakes or reinforcement but at least for the brakes it might a good idea lol.
Most people in the U.S. seem to just use the e30 driveshaft + medium case diff (188?) with a m52/s52(US) and it works well enough. Even for those who push more power.
As for the brakes, doesn't the e36 328 just run vented front brakes but otherwise the caliper/rotors are basically same size? If so then the 318ti brakes should be fine for m52 at least.
