    E36 coils on a e30?

    Does anyone know if e36 coils will fit on a e30? They look pretty similar to how they would mount to the e30 hub and I was just curious if anyone else has thought about it or has done anything of the sorts. Slight modification is do-able and even if I had to swap the hubs that's still do-able, there's just a 300$ price difference between the e36 coils and the e30 coils and I'm just trying to figure out if it'd be possible so I could save some money to put in to some other goodies. Cheers mates !

    If you're okay with doing some modifications, then I'm sure that you can make it work. You're likely going to have to do some work on the mounting and make sure that the nut/perch design on the coil-over matches. I've attached an E30 diy tech article on the coil-over install if needed as a guide. Best of luck!
