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.
