Revolutionizing Drift Performance with the E36 Ultra Angle Kit
When it comes to drifting, precision and control are paramount. The E36 (exluding. M3) Ultra Angle Kit for Drifting by SLRspeed offers an unparalleled upgrade for BMW E36 enthusiasts seeking to enhance their drifting capabilities. This comprehensive kit is not just about adding steering angle but transforming the entire front-end response, handling, and overall performance in all driving situations.
At the core of this transformation is the correction of the roll-center, a critical element in maintaining stability and improving turn-in response. By addressing the roll-center, the E36 Ultra Angle Kit reduces body roll, ensuring smoother transitions and more stable braking. This improvement in geometry also enhances the camber curve, providing a more connected feel throughout the steering and suspension travel range.
Engineering Excellence: Materials and Construction
SLRspeed's commitment to quality is evident in the construction of the E36 Ultra Angle Kit. Each component is crafted from TIG welded 100% Chromoly steel, renowned for its lightweight yet incredibly strong properties. This ensures that the kit not only withstands the rigors of intense drifting but also maintains its integrity over time.
The steering plates are made from ultra-high strength alloy, featuring a revolutionary 35mm of geometry correction and a four-position adjustable Ackerman. This allows drivers to tailor their setup to suit both the track and their personal driving style. Such customization is crucial for competitive drifting, where adaptability can make all the difference.
Moreover, the kit increases track width hub-to-hub, providing additional stability and control. The result is a drift car that feels more planted and responsive, allowing drivers to push their limits with confidence.
Legal and Competitive: Ready for the World Stage
One of the standout features of the E36 Ultra Angle Kit is its legality in all major drifting series worldwide, including the prestigious Formula-D and USA pro-am events. This makes it an attractive choice for both amateur drifters looking to step up their game and seasoned professionals competing at the highest levels.
By offering up to 74°+ of steering lock, the highest in the industry, the kit ensures that drivers have the edge they need to navigate tight corners and execute complex maneuvers with ease. The 40% faster steering ratio means that precision and speed are at your fingertips, making this kit a game-changer in competitive settings.
In addition to legal compliance, the kit's comprehensive design eliminates the need for multiple aftermarket parts, saving drivers both time and money. The built-in bump-steer correction and sway bar compatibility further enhance its value, making it a one-stop solution for serious drifters.
Installation and Compatibility
Designed as a bolt-on package, the E36 Ultra Angle Kit simplifies installation, allowing for straightforward integration with your existing setup. While mechanical knowledge is recommended, the package includes everything needed to make the transition as seamless as possible.
Compatible with both adjustable and non-adjustable lollipop configurations, the kit offers flexibility in terms of setup. This ensures that regardless of your current configuration, you can benefit from the enhancements this kit provides.
For those seeking additional customization, the kit can be paired with SLRspeed's Delrin Front Control Arm Bushing Lollipop Puck or SLR Solid Adjustable BMW Sway Bar Links, further enhancing the vehicle's performance and handling characteristics.
