So I know this is something that can be done on the E30, but can it be done on the E21?
The reason I ask, is it opens up a lot more options for coilover units, and it also opens doors with regards to wheel options.
What would be needed, if it could even be done?
E36 hub conversion
Re: E36 hub conversion
e12 hubs are a direct fit and are also 5 stud.

e12 hub fits on e21 strut? 
or is it better to swap whole e12 strut to e21?

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

But E12 hubs surely have the same issues with lack of coilover options as E21 hubs?

Re: E36 hub conversion
The e12 takes the same bearings, so the hub should fit. That won't help with coilover options though since it won't change the upright. Why not just get a set of e21 coilovers?
