[v300]

I have read Marcel's and Orb's thread and need help with clarification. Below is the description of parts from Tischer.

- OEM BMW E90/92/93 M3 Front Control Arm/Tension Strut Retrofit Set
- OEM BMW E9x M3 Aluminum Rear Guide Rod Set
- OEM BMW E9x M3 Aluminum Rear Wishbone Set
- OEM BMW E9x M3 Front Sway Bar Kit
- OEM BMW E9x M3 Rear Sway Bar Kit
- OEM BMW E9x M3 Subframe bushings

Here are my questions once these components are installed:
1) Do we use alignment specs from a M3 or a E92?
2) Should we run M3 offspec wheels and do they clear the factory fenders, i.e., +20/+22 offset wheels? or just stick with the standard e92 +35/+33?
3) Does the E92 stock Endlinks bolt on to the M3 sway bar or do I need to order M3 endlinks?

Thanks in advance.

1. E9x alignment specs, but with the additional -.7 camber in front from M3 control arms.
2. E9x wheel offsets, although the added stiffness should allow for slightly more aggressive (wider to outside) offsets. Rear M3 wheel will cause rubbing unless you roll fender, and may adversely affect handling.
3. Whatever Tischer or HPA includes.

I strongly recommend getting advice to fit your specific needs (FK Silverline) -- Harold at HPA is very knowledgeable.

It would be good info to know, i have a set of FK silverlines I need to get install. If there are no issues with the m3 components I might take a hard look into that upgrade path

There is a ton of useful info on alignment specs and the other issues you raise buried in some long-forgotten threads. Someone should pull that info out and sticky it somewhere... I always assume that the folks that are actively working on this stuff -- like Harold -- will have up-to-date better info.

Looks like most of your questions were anwered.

For your FK Silverlines(these are Koni based, right?), you will need to purchase Koni M3 specific rear dampers with spools for the M3 lower camber link conversion kit.

harold you should have a suspension conversion sticky to answer all questions

I think Harold should look into a secondary shop between LA/OC border area and add a secondary lounge (aka a hidden wet bar).

I will consider that.
