M3 Bushings on E30

[chriseunos]

Hi, i've just noticed that one of the bushing on the Control arm cracked and im going to change it soon, my question is, do i specifically need a M3 Control arm to fit in the M3 bushings? Or my ori E30 control arm can fit it in perfectly? Does anyone have the price for the bushings ? My last question is, is it worth it? ThxChris

do u mean the e30 ///m3 lower arm bush?
if thts wht u mean thn yes u can use them without the need to change to that of an m3 control arm,there is also the offset lower arm bush for the e30 which u can use...i think Calvin Tan has them for sale...
check it out at www.eurocarmotorspot.com but not sure how much they are..

thanks for the website

Are there anymore bushings that i should look out for to get a stable ride?

yes, it's makes your steering to be more precise or more accurate with the offset. It increase your caster as well. The feel of the steering will be heavier (slight).

Get the original m3 offset with the hole is slightly off from the centre not the centre one.

check lee's thread on the m3 offset.

fabianyee has a the customized build offset and worthwhile checking it out too.
