The front one is a different shape but same mounting points and the rear is 22mm and has more curves etc. Thinking with the rear for sure will be significant upgrade from 14mm? | | | 08-25-2013, 04:38 PM | #32 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 | Quote: Originally Posted by Johnomoby Will m3 evo sway bars / anti roll bars fit?

They changed the spring rates and the shock rates for the Evo's. | | | 08-25-2013, 11:09 PM | #33 | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2013 Location: United Kingdom, Midlands Posts: 12 | BMW E36 M3 3.2 evo rear anti roll bar is 22mm? | | | 08-26-2013, 12:45 AM | #34 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 | Might be, That I have no idea on, but Traditional e36 have different suspension than Compacts and Z3's. | | | 08-26-2013, 11:33 AM | #35 | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2013 Location: United Kingdom, Midlands Posts: 12 | What a difference the m3 sway bar makes to the rear would recommend the work. Needed to move arb brackets over by the width of the bracket each side and weld up then the bar bolted straight up, much tighter back end feel now. | | | 08-26-2013, 12:35 PM | #36 | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2013 Location: United Kingdom, Midlands Posts: 12 | What a difference the m3 sway bar makes to the rear would recommend the work.

No mount modification required. That would have been an easier way to go but congrats on your innovation. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

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 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. Quote: Originally Posted by DustenT Who makes differential bushings? - Powerflex, street or race versions [/url] | I believe Turner carries delrin mounts. 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. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

The stock bar is thicker than the M3 bar and will be more effective than the M3 bar when the same mounting points are utilized. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!
