F3x rear subframe bushes

Bee Pee · 11-30-2015, 09:15 AM

Gents,

I have succeeded in tightening up the front of my car with M4 LCAs and upgraded springs and ARB's F&R. Am now exploring ways to better locate the rear subframe on our F2x/F3x cars using OEM parts.

Below is a REALOEM link for F2x rear subframe - same as RWD F3x.

From the above, I'm keen to gauge feedback on replacement of the items 2, 3, 8 & 10 of F2X rear subframe below with appropriate E9x M3 bushes.....
E9x subframe front bushes [#2 below] look like they are installed from the top of the subframe whereas the rears are installed from the underside [same as F2x F&R]

My question is are the E9x M3 rear subframe rear bushes [item 3] for subframe and diff mounting bushes F&R [9 & 12] are same size for the equivalents for F2x/F3x ?

Thanks in advance,

BP

I don't know for sure but I researched this a couple months back and I'm pretty sure they are Not compatible.

BP - e9x subframe bushings won't fit, but have you seen these yet?

EDIT - Just realized that you posted in the thread I linked, so you obviously already know about the Bimmerworld subframe bushings...
So, did you order some?
