The BMW E46 Mantis Angle Kit is the most relevant angle kit in today's drift society. 

Key Features:

• Adjustability: Our innovative lower control arm/lollipop design introduces on-car fine-tuning for caster, a unique feature not found in other kits.
• Strength: Crafted using the strongest alloy steels available, the Mega Mantis Kit is engineered to thrive under intense racing conditions 
• Angle: 70 degrees depending on your steering rack setup
• Ackermann: Adjustable Ackermann
• Roll Center: Optimized handling by adding 40mm of roll center correction 
• Bump Steer: Minimal bump steer in drift by perfecting tie-rod pickup location
• Caster: Displaced caster built into the knuckle for optimal alignment force
• Camber: Optimized camber ranging from -3 to -6
• Track Width: 50-75mm wider per side creating a stable and high clearance front end (Recommend front over fenders)
• Suspension Travel: Long travel range, full lock to full lock at any point throughout  suspension travel for increased grip 
• Joints: Chromoly Heim joints, and spherical bearings with self-lubricating nylon race, easily replaceable 
• Durable, Reliable & Light-weight: compact knuckle design makes for a lightweight and strong design, scissor frame constructed alloy steel arms, 7075 aluminum used where possible.

E46 Mild:

26mm wider than stock for a more mild track width well maintaining high clearance for the added angle the kit provides.

E46 Mega:

53mm wider per side creating a stable and high clearance front end with a full adjustable tie rods set up.

E36 knuckles on the E46 option benefits!

The E36 knuckle is far superior to the E46 knuckle because it is a stronger, lighter, simpler mounting design, and is a cheaper knuckle to build. It allows for a longer shock (50mm longer for more stroke), allows for camber to be adjusted at the knuckle and the top of the coilover. It will bolt up to the E46 chassis as long as you have E36 front coilovers. This is what every pro driver with an E46 runs including some of our drivers such as Adam LZ, Dylan Hughes, and Jonathan hurst all seen in PRO FD.

BMW E36/E46 Rear Grip Kit: 

This kit is designed for the demands of competitive drifting, offering a robust lightweight design, it is the only kit offering toe gain under compression, with the ability to setup it up for zero bump steer as well. All other options will toe out under compression which is not ideal for rear grip and control in drifting or racing. The changes made to the knuckles were simulated and tested to optimize the already great trailing arm suspension for the E36/46 chassis. 

• Proven Track Record: Field-tested by professional driver Connor O'Sully, who took second overall in his 2024 Formula Drift season. This kit has demonstrated its superiority in competitive settings, contributing significantly to a car that's nearly unbeatable on the track.
• Superior Design and Materials: Constructed from high-strength alloy steel, our knuckles are lighter and stronger than OEM knuckles. The kit includes dual caliper brackets specifically designed for Wilwood calipers and features an easy-to-adjust control arm system.
• Advanced Engineering: Developed with CAD simulations and FEA testing to meet rigorous racing standards, this kit improves kinematics and vehicle dynamics, ensuring superior handling and responsiveness, with emphasis on the adjustable toe gain control, roll center correction, anti-squat adjustment, and options for the pick up holes to change the amount of side bite and forward bit this kit can create.
• Customizable Adjustments: Features adjustable anti-squat settings (FD-legal is the standard) and precision toe adjustments using shims for symmetrical alignment. This allows for the fastest and most accurate setup adjustments available on the market for this chassis.
• Durable and Reliable: Equipped with easily replaceable uniball bearings and high-strength heim joints, designed to endure the abuse of racing and maintain performance through collisions and contact, with all parts able to be purchased individually as required. 
• Easy Installation: The installation process is streamlined with an included guide and video tutorial. Even the weld-on brackets are simplified with alignment holes for accurate placement.
• FD Legal Design: Fully compliant with Formula Drift rules, ensuring that your vehicle meets competition standards without compromising performance.
• Maintenance Made Simple: All components are designed for easy replacement, with individual parts available for quick exchanges in the event of damage.
• Race-Only Application: Specifically designed for use on the racetrack, focusing every aspect of the kit on maximizing your competitive edge.

Because this kit is designed for competition, it will only work with wilwood brakes, and it also uses a bolt on style hub and bearing that is a better design vs the press in OEM bearing. Below are the part numbers required for running this kit, and they will correspond with the option you choose. These parts will need to be purchased on your own, for any assistance we are happy to guide you just email or give us a call.

The E46 chassis has a front suspension design that allows for high angle clearance, the perfect steering rack location and easy to work on suspension. Its one downside is the fragile single shear subframe mount, but the Subframe Angle Kit brace strengthens this mount!

Angle kits have extended control arms, which increase the leverage on the mount and can cause failures in the subframe and in the ball joint stud. Using this brace creates a double-shear mount, tripling the strength of the mounting area and preventing fatigue from occurring. So, even in the event of an accident, this brace will help focus the energy on the suspension arms instead of on the subframe. 

Key Features: 

• Durable & Reliable: The brace triples the strength of the mounting area. 
• Protection: During an accident, the brace directs the energy on the suspension arms instead of the subframe. 
• Compatibility: Fits SLR, Wisefab and FDF angle kits. 

Note: This brace does not work with any factory control arms or any angle kits that use factory ball joints.

During regular alignment work, adjustments are made from the tie rods without first centering the steering rack. This ensures even lengths of the rack are exposed but makes the process more time-consuming for the technician. If the rack is off-center when adjusting the tie rods, your steering won't turn equally in both directions and will have an uneven turning radius. A centered steering rack also prevents handling problems like uneven bump steer and inconsistent steering resistance.

With the steering rack centering tool, you can ensure the rack is centered every time you do an alignment. This saves time during quick checks after a day on the track or street. When the rack is centered for each alignment, the steering wheel stays in the same position, eliminating the need to reset it. Without this tool, every time you adjust the tie rod, the steering rack moves, requiring you to recheck all alignment settings and set up the alignment equipment again.

Simplify your alignment process and ensure consistent steering with the FDF Steering Rack Centering Tool.

Note: Centering tool needs to be used with OEM inner tierod end to work. The tool needs a flat service to center correctly.

Key Features:

• Precision Engineering: The FDF Steering Rack Centering Tool is 3D-printed for accurate fitment and durability.
  
• User-Friendly Design: Easily slides onto the rack, ensuring a tight and secure fit without falling off.
  
• Comprehensive Kit: Comes with a detailed manual to guide you through each step of the centering process.

The material used is a high-strength alloy steel that is 3/16 (5mm) thick. The weld process these are designed for is mig or tig.

The design also features a "bolt in front flange" for easily replacing the lower shaft without removing the diff from the car, and for easy installation to the subframe. 

The brackets will be shipped tack welded together using our jig, and ready to weld once received.

Key Features:

• Durable & Reliable: Made out of high-strength alloy steel. 
• Weld: Designed for customers to weld in using mig or tig. 

Note: Please allow 2 weeks process time before shipping.

After years of data collection and analysis on the BMW E36/E46 chassis, we have designed some high strength, long-lasting tie rods. 

The tie rod upgrade uses only Chromoly, and 7075 aluminum to make up its construction. 

Key Features:

• OEM Socket Replacement: Replaces the OEM inner socket ball joint with a Chromoly adapter that supports a high-strength rod end for improved durability.
• Enhanced Longevity: The upgraded rod ends offer a significantly longer lifespan, especially suited for inner tie rod applications.
• Drift-Ready Design: Engineered to handle the high loads experienced during drifting, reducing wear on the inner tie rod and maintaining consistent alignment over time.
• Universal Compatibility: Designed to fit seamlessly with any angle kit—including FDF, Wisefab, and SLR—this upgrade enhances both handling and the lifespan of your angle kit and tie rods. 
  • Without outer Heim joint: Choose this option for FDF or SLR kits
  • With outer Heim joints: Choose this option if you are adapting these tierods to a custom kit, or to Wisefab.
  • The outer tierod is a Left hand 5/8-18, and this joint can be adapted to any kit with a different set of spacers. If you have questions, send us an email at support@fdfraceshop.com and we will get right back to you! 

For an E36 or E46 the tie rod body is 11.5". For "Other" please email support@fdfraceshop.com or add in the order notes how long you need your tie rods to be (measurement for the rack to knuckle).

BR Series:

The BC Racing BR Series offers the most affordable entry into coilover suspension without sacrificing performance, comfort, build quality, vehicle height, or handling. This is done by extensively testing each vehicle then refining the coilover characteristics as many times as needed to ensure the most well-balanced and affordable aftermarket suspension conceivable.

ER Series:

The BC Racing ER Series Coilover System is the next evolution in your suspension tuning and vehicle setup needs. The ER Series offers 30-clicks of independently adjustable compression and rebound with remote reservoirs to increase oil capacity and help with faster heat dissipation.

Drift Spec Rate:

Per chassis we have determined the perfect drift specification, which typically involves a different spring rate and in some cases, different valving. 

Note: Drift Spec is built to order in 8-10 weeks

Standard Spec Rate:

This option is what BC has determined to be the best natural choice for improved handling and performance all around. 

Swift Spring:

Swift springs are manufactured using superior engineering and have moved quickly through the ranks of motorsports and some of the world's most reputable races. Swift springs are the lightest in weight, strongest in durability, and highest in linearity of any spring on the market.

Rear Coilover Option:

Many vehicles run a divorced style spring and shock setup in the rear. For example an E36/46 or a 350Z. Using this option you can select if you want to run your setup with the OEM divorced design or if you want to convert your car to a true rear combined coilover setup 

Improve your driving experience with our BMW E36 Heel Plates, designed specifically for left-hand drive vehicles.
