The BMW E30 is legendary — but its 1980s suspension tech needs a serious update if you're chasing performance today.
Whether you’re sliding through a drift course, shaving seconds on track, or building a responsive street car, the right suspension parts are essential.
Why Upgrade E30 Suspension?
Stock E30 suspension was never built for today’s tire compounds, power levels, or alignment needs. Key issues include:
- Weak, narrow front lower control arms
- Limited camber and caster adjustment
- Soft bushings and outdated geometry
SLRspeed builds E30 suspension parts for real motorsport use — engineered, welded, and tested to take abuse and win races.
Best Suspension Mods for E30
1. E30 Lower Control Arms
Our chromoly control arms improve strength, adjustability, and steering response. Ideal for wide angle setups and caster tuning.
2. E30 Tie Rods
Replace aging components and add angle-friendly inner + outer tie rods. Pair with our angle kits for maximum lock.
3. E30 Camber and Toe Arms (Rear)
Get proper tire wear and rear alignment control with our adjustable toe/camber arms — especially after lowering.
4. Coilovers Tuned for Drift or Track
We recommend drift-valved coilovers for sideways action and stiffer track-tuned sets for grip. Proper damping is key for older chassis like the E30.
5. Sway Bars and Links
Don’t sleep on roll control — adjustable sway bar links let you balance front/rear stiffness to suit your driving style.
SLR Suspension: Made for Real Use
Every SLR E30 suspension product is designed, cut, and welded in the USA — with feedback from drivers who actually beat on these cars. We don’t do cheap stamped parts or soft bushings. Just real control, real grip, and real wins.

Final Thoughts
If you want your E30 to handle like it looks — sharp, classic, and aggressive — modern suspension is a must. Start with arms and damping, then fine-tune camber, toe, and sway. Your tires and lap times will thank you.
