If you're serious about drifting, you've probably heard the term angle kit thrown around like it's magic. But what is an angle kit—and why does it matter?
At SLRspeed, we’ve engineered some of the highest-angle steering kits on the market, with over 74° of usable lock. This isn’t just about looking cool—it’s about gaining control, consistency, and confidence on every run.
What Is an Angle Kit?
An angle kit is a suspension upgrade that increases the maximum steering angle of your front wheels. More angle = better drift control, especially at high slip angles or during big transitions.
A proper angle kit replaces and upgrades:
- Lower control arms
- Steering knuckles
- Outer tie rods
- Sometimes lollipops or tension rod mounts
Why Steering Angle Matters in Drifting
More steering angle allows:
- Deeper entries without spinning out
- Faster recoveries from transitions
- More consistent tandem performance
With a stock setup, you’re often limited to 35°–45° of angle. That’s not enough when you’re really pushing the car. SLR kits raise that bar—dramatically.
What Makes SLR Angle Kits Different?
SLR angle kits don’t just offer more lock. They offer adjustability and geometry tuning so you can dial in your driving style:
✔ Adjustable Ackermann
This lets you fine-tune how the lead and trailing wheels behave mid-drift. More Ackermann = easier transitions. Less = more angle stability.
✔ Billet Lollipops for Caster Tuning
Instead of hacking your arms or praying to the alignment gods, you get precise caster tuning from the mounts themselves. More caster improves return-to-center and self-steer feel.
✔ Lightweight, Strong Arms
SLR arms are TIG welded from high-strength materials and tested on Formula Drift and ProAm cars. They’re not just functional—they’re overbuilt.
What You’ll Feel After Installing an Angle Kit
- Steering is quicker, more responsive
- Big entries feel more stable
- It’s harder to spin the car once sideways
- Correcting under angle becomes natural
It’s a game-changer, plain and simple.
What Cars Can Run SLR Angle Kits?
We offer kits for:
- BMW E36 / E46 / E30
- 350Z / G35
- Chassis-specific options like IS300, E90, and more
Conclusion
If you're building a drift car and haven’t considered an angle kit, you're leaving control and performance on the table. Don’t let your steering limit your driving. Upgrade your angle, and the whole car transforms.
