    Yeah, E34 ones are no problem, but I'm just waiting to clarify a couple of details before I stick them in the shop. Prices are the same as for the E36 fitments. The E34 ones are fixed rear ride height though and it's only a 40mm drop :ghey:

    it does indeed and I'm trying to find out why that's the case.
    the E30 ones are the same, but they come with an option for 40mm or 60mm lowered rear springs (we've only listed the 60mm options in the shop)

    e36 subrames would sell well, as mike said the setup in an e36 makes low seat positioning a ball ache, doable tho.

    I'm confused why you have problems fitting a seat in the E36?? It's got flat, parallel mounting bolts, really not hard to make a fixed rail to fit!!! I've seen some subframe designs for E36 and it usually ends up with the seat miles in the air, I think a universal fixed rail is the best option for them.

    We're not going to be stocking the E34 kits, they're not a complete enough solution with no ride height adjustment and require modifying the struts. Sorry!
