Mr Vapour 76 Report post Posted November 23, 2015 What year have both types Excuse my ignorance on this . But I don't know the difference. I'm planning on retrofitting it in to my e21. Bigger diff, stronger axles and 5 stud. If the differance is sick and drum I after disc . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliongater 718 Report post Posted November 23, 2015 I've got an e34 rear subframe from an 88 535i if that works Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Vapour 76 Report post Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks for the offer, but it needs to be an e28 subframe. IThey are a simmilar design, just bigger, so the beam just needs to be narrowed and it's a simpleish fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted November 23, 2015 Later model has the dog bones linking the beem to the trailing arms for better handling have both types Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Vapour 76 Report post Posted November 24, 2015 This is good. All the e21 information just says to use a e28 sub frame and associated parts. Is there any difference in how the shock mounts ? I also read today that there are different angles on the arms . Basicly I want what ever will give me the best handeling result. I have to cut the ends off next to the arm mounts and weld the e21 mount tabs on, change the diff mounts, hand brake cables I will send you a pm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
