Both Mike S and bluptgm3, this is in line to what i was thinking. Not worried about classes, mostly a street car.
Thanks
I can't see the value in it for a street car.

I'll assume you're using a camber plate that allows you to adjust camber and caster. And I'll also assume you're not facing a problem fitting your tires beneath the fenders.
In that case, you may need to buy a different wheel spacer to avoid interference due to the kingpin angle changes, but I'm confident they can fit and likely get the alignment you want. If you're tracking your car you probably replace the front control arms regularly, so if you *do* find that they're needed to get your setup the way you like it, it's not like you're wasting a bunch of money.

Are the strut towers in the chassis the same between 95s and 96+s? Ie, if i one with a 95 wanted to, they could swap LCAs, spindles, and strut mounts and be exactly 96+ spec? I ask because i'm shopping and am debating if i should consider 95s or not. I don't want to get stuck with the oddball out when it comes to finding junkyard parts, etc.
Those aluminum FLCA are from the E30 M3.
I have not confirmed this, however I understand that the E30 FLCA has the same geometry as E36, except E36 has a larger inner ball joint to accommodate the heavier weight.
The geometry of these arms - the 318/325/323/328 and 1995M3 - is the same, M3 has solid outer ball joint where as the non-Ms contain an rubber isolated outer ball joint.
Meyle HD FLCAs for E36 replicate the 318/323/325/328 and 1995 M3 geometry and offer solid Ball Joints.
If you have to have 'factory' parts the E30M3 FLCAs also offer solid Ball Joints.

Whoa - flash from the past! This thread is so old it even looks like some of the discussion is missing.
With 1996+ E36M3 FLCA NLA, linking threads.

LOL!! Got mine from Tischer couple of months ago. One came bare steel and the other came partially primed.
