The aluminum E30 LCAs will fit. Not sure which bushing they use. As you know, 95M3 are centered bushings, +96 are offset. Are they really worth the money for some weight loss?
The car is very well balanced. It does exactly what I tell it to do on the track. Unfortunately I don't always tell it the right things.
I'll be at Mid-Ohio memorial Day weekend. The car absolutely loves that track more than any other. |
I tink you are a bit mixed up with the bushings. The 95 is offset, and 96+ are centered. This is why your wheels (with 95 arms and 96+ bushings) are set back a bit.
Mine, on the other hand are 96+ arms with 95 bushings, so they are set forward a bit.
I'm also fairly certain the E30 used offset bushings for the M3 only, as the LCA's are the same for M and non-M cars (as far as I know). Only difference being aluminum for less UNSPRUNG weight. This is a nice place to loose weight, so the suspension can react faster...
For the E36, BMW realized they could just make the arm a bit different, and use the same bushing across the board. I'm not sure if this was the smartest thing, but it allows us to move our front wheels around nicely!
