Way bigger than I initially thought 💭

Perfect video for the perfect time...just looking to get some noun for my e70 question is can i use 3.0l mounts on a 4.8 as im struggling to find a nee left noun right ones are available

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

I’m not sure. The best thing to do is check the parts for both cars on realoem.com. Sometimes FCP and other parts houses don’t post cross fitment well.

[@Dankalatrune1234]

do you need an alignment after dropping subframe?

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

In a perfect world yes. I did not perform an alignment on mine. The steering rack has the biggest impact. If you mark the mounting location clearly you will get it close, but the truth is the toe will be off.

[@Dankalatrune1234]

@@DrivingForwardBuilds is it possible to do these mounts without removing subframe. say with removing the engine brackets?

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

@@Dankalatrune1234 I think it would be possible if you had the brackets out of the way. It's probably worth some experimentation.
