Good afternoon all ,
My question is I removed both rear axles form my 98M3 Coupe to replace Hubs and bearings, and in the process I damaged the boots on one axle ( they were split partially ) and the threads on another ..If you have ever removed original axles you will understand....
I have 2 good axles from a Z3 M Roadster, They are the same on both ends but are 1/4 in shorter when compressed as compared to the original M3 axles I removed.
My car is on coil overs and stiff springs as its mainly my Track day car....
Can the Z3M axles be used in my M3 coupe??
I feel the shorter axle will only be an issue in excessive droop of the axle, and as I have coil overs the droop will be way less than a standard suspension setup....

Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to your question, but what you're saying makes it sound like it should work.
Long Island? I don't think I've seen you around. FYI Autocross is starting up soon (three different clubs this year). Let me know if you're interested and I'll get you more info.

Ok I ended up going with a set of replacement M3 ales even though the Z3M coupe ones fit I just wasnt sure about the 1/4 inch shorter lenght of the axles..Thanks for the input.
