When it comes to BMW drifting parts, SLR has been at the forefront of engineering, innovation, and real-world testing since 2006. Long before drifting BMWs became mainstream, SLR was already designing, manufacturing, and perfecting angle kits, control arms, subframe reinforcements, sway bars, and more.
Today, nearly every pro-level BMW drift car runs SLR components. Why? Because our parts aren't just designed to fit—they're designed to work at the highest levels of competition. From Formula Drift to grassroots events, SLR-built cars consistently outperform the competition, thanks to superior geometry, strength, and adjustability.
Let’s break down why SLR’s catalog of BMW drifting parts remains unmatched.
The First and Still the Best: SLR BMW Angle Kits
SLR pioneered the first angle kit for BMWs, setting the gold standard for steering angle, Ackermann tuning, and bump steer correction. Unlike many copycats that followed, SLR’s angle kits are meticulously engineered to ensure predictable control and maximum grip while countersteering.
What Makes SLR’s Angle Kit the Best?
✔ Up to 74° of Steering Angle – More angle means fewer spins and more aggressive transitions.
✔ Ackermann Adjustability – Fine-tune your front-end response for grip or speed in transitions.
✔ Corrected Roll Center & Bump Steer – Eliminates unpredictable steering feedback at full lock.
✔ Lightweight & Bulletproof – Built from high-strength chromoly and billet aluminum, designed to survive extreme drift loads.
From grassroots drifters to Formula Drift podium finishers, SLR’s angle kits have been the go-to choice for over a decade and a half.
SLR Drift-Spec Coilovers: The Perfect Suspension Setup
Not all coilovers are built for drifting. Generic coilovers often lack proper damping control, resulting in an unbalanced car. SLR’s drift-spec coilovers are developed with optimized spring rates, travel, and damping characteristics to give drivers maximum chassis control.
✔ Designed Specifically for Drift Loads – Reduces weight transfer delay and optimizes grip balance.
✔ Compatible with SLR Camber & Caster Plates – Allows fine-tuned alignment adjustments for front-end grip and predictability.
✔ Built for Competition – Forged aluminum mounts and high-flow dampers ensure longevity and reliability under extreme stress.
When paired with SLR's angle kit, these coilovers create the ultimate drifting suspension for BMW E36, E46, and beyond.
SLR Rear Control Arms: Unmatched Strength & Adjustability
Drifting puts extreme stress on rear suspension components, often leading to premature failure of OEM control arms. SLR engineered rear upper and lower control arms to withstand the rigors of professional drifting.
Rear Upper Control Arms
✔ Chromoly Construction – Stronger than OEM stamped steel.
✔ Toe-In Correction – Helps maintain proper alignment under heavy lateral loads.
✔ Designed for True Coilover Setup – Eliminates factory spring bucket for improved weight distribution.
Rear Lower Control Arms
✔ CNC-Machined Billet Aluminum – Over 5x stronger than stock yet lighter.
✔ Internal Locking Adjusters – No bulky adjusters to interfere with exhaust or aero.
✔ Available in Grey & Purple – Looks as good as it performs.
With over 5x the strength of stock, these control arms ensure that rear camber and toe stay locked in place, preventing unwanted suspension deflection mid-drift.
SLR Subframe Reinforcements: The Key to a Strong Chassis
A common failure point in BMW drift builds is the rear subframe mounts tearing out of the chassis. SLR’s Rear Floor Subframe to Shock Tower Brace eliminates this issue by reinforcing critical weak points.
✔ Prevents Rear Floor Failure – A must-have for high-horsepower builds.
✔ Ties Suspension Loads into the Chassis – Eliminates rear-end flex for a more predictable car.
✔ Bolt-In or Weld-In Options – Easy to install while offering permanent reinforcement.
If you're serious about E36 drifting, you need to reinforce the rear subframe. SLR makes it easy and effective.
SLR Tie Rods: The Strongest in the Industry
Weak tie rods are one of the first failure points in drifting. SLR’s HD inner tie rods and CNC-machined tie rod tubes eliminate steering flex and allow precise toe adjustments.
✔ Available in Multiple Lengths – Fits everything from Porsche 911 to Honda Civic.
✔ HD Inner Tie Rods – Built for extreme drift and racing environments.
✔ Bulletproof Strength – No more bending or breaking under load.
Tie rods may seem simple, but weak components can cause erratic steering and alignment issues. SLR’s reinforced tie rods ensure your steering stays precise and responsive.
Why Pro Drifters Trust SLR
SLR is not just another aftermarket brand—it’s the original and most trusted name in BMW drifting parts.
✔ The First BMW Angle Kit – Since 2006, SLR has been setting the standard for steering angle and suspension geometry.
✔ Proven in Formula Drift & ProSpec – Drivers like Chelsea Denofa, Adam LZ, and Andy Hateley all trust SLR for their BMWs.
✔ Designed, Manufactured, & Tested in the USA – No cheap outsourcing, just precision engineering built to last.
✔ Innovative Suspension Geometry – Other brands copy, but they don’t understand the complex kinematics that make SLR superior.
From entry-level builds to pro-spec drift monsters, SLR parts have been dominating the BMW drift scene for nearly two decades.
If you’re serious about drifting your BMW, there is no better choice than SLR.
Conclusion: The Best BMW Drifting Parts, Period
Whether you need an angle kit, coilovers, control arms, or subframe reinforcements, SLR has the most technically advanced and battle-proven solutions in the industry.
