Default A Stupid Question
Yep, probably a stupid question but would E30 M3 rear springs fit on our cars? Would they make any difference?

ok so i did a little research and the rear springs should work.

the part numbers are the same for the top and bottom mounts.

this weekend i will tear about some stuff and compare sizes and how it effects my ride height and driving.

pictures to come in club sport thread

full swap on the e30 <> e36 compact susp.

incl. wishbones, rear end and swingarms.

E30 M3 items are best, to get the best geometry

or just use e36 3.0 eccentric bushes on the front and wider rear wheel
