E36 Rear Subframe/Chassis Reinforcement Kit

[ArkticSilber]

I have a 97 M3/4 and I am wondering if my can came with the "E36 Rear Subframe/Chassis Reinforcement Kit" from the factory? I saw this on the Turner website and it says it comes with the car on the late E36s.

Also, I am running on Bilstein Sports shocks with H&R Sport springs. Can I use the "H&R Rear Ride Height Adjusters?"

thats a good question. When that kit come on the cars? I have a 3/98 built car but I was told my left RTAB tore thru (maybe b/c of the accident?) and had to be rewelded.

I believe the rear subframes on all E36 M3's were reinforced from the factory.

It's the early non-M's that had problems.

Apples and oranges. The places where the RTAB mounts aren't anywhere near the subframe mounts - no relation besides they're both associated with the rear suspension in an E36.

As Frayed says, all M3s have the reinforced rear subframe mounts on the body of the car. It's not so much that the subframe tears - that would be fairly simple to fix by just replacing the subframe. The problem is that the holes in the body that the subframe bolts to tear out in severe use on non-M3 E36s.
