hi
im pretty new to e21's so not to sure at the moment what differences there are from early to later models.

basicly ive just bought some gaz coilovers and the company i got them through supplied the stub axles. after stripping all the suspension yesterday ive found that the stub axles on the coilovers are to big so i cant fit my bearings / hub. (mines a '77 316)

can i just buy a set of bearings with a larger inner diameter but same outer diameter so i dont have to change my hubs and discs etc or do i need to change the lot?

cheeers in advance

You will have been sent coilovers that were built using the larger 323 stub axles.

so if i manage to get some 323 hubs and bearings will my standard brakes still fit?

Yes if you get the 323i hubs and bearings your parts will fit

brilliant. thanks for the help guys!

320(6cyl) hubs are the same as 323 hubs and might be cheaper to buy and more easy to find...
