if the pcd is the same therefore e30 top mounts should fit!

I believe the PCD is the same, but is reversed. I know TomC is running Gaz/RPM E30 top mounts but he drilled his strut tops I think, maybe because the camber adjustment is only designed to work in one direction. I have the same top mounts but I haven't decided if I'm fitting them to an E30 or E21 yet.
