All the M3's in Mitchells used this picture

No John, what I mean is that is what the E36 fronts look like. On 92ish+.
The rears will likely be identical to mine, but I'll check it all out, and look at the length and articulation of the half shafts and the amount of space/clearance.

Well I always said that E30 M3 is the only Bavarian Maggot Wagon I'd own.
That's just like an Xratty fitment.

Randy when you say all M3s what YEARS is "all"?

It looks cheesy as for holding a strut we're pounding on. Maybe Ok for Yuppie wives getting groceries. Look at the nice thing Randy just posted, that's way way better.

Go look with the idea of spring to body and spring to tire clearance.
Maybe measure overall lengths.

John, MAYBE you don't get it. But this exists and matters to at least some extent to many people.

For instance, most peoples Wive's.

Millions of **NORMAL EVERYDAY STOCK BEIGE TOYOTA CAMRY DRIVING** American's will get hot and bothered about a clapped out "SOMETHING".

It can mean the difference between "Oh, John's working on that classic Porsche of his again," not "That fucking husband of mine is working on that old piece of shit"

Without writting an exhaustive list of the clapped out somethings.. I'll mention a few that they won't get excited about. MERKURS AND VOLVOS.

Obviously I don't get it. The car to me is a tool which is used to make me giggle if it WORKS well and has the potential to go fast for very little cash outlay.

Definitely don't get THAT.

Fixed that for ya, no charge!

Another one of those "locality" things.

Around here the A2 cars are dried up and anything in half decent shape is $2k+. A3s are drying up fast, and you can buy A4s for under $1k easily.

They have electrical problems...
