What's the Deal with E36 SLR Angle Kits?

Performance & Modifications
21

That sounds amazing! Is the tire wear worth the increased performance?

22

Definitely! The trade-off is totally worth it for track days, but it might be a bit much for daily driving. Just my two cents.

23

Do these kits affect the ride comfort at all? I love driving my E36 daily, and comfort is key for me.

24

They can make things a bit stiffer, but you’ll get used to it! I think it’s a fair compromise for the handling benefits.

25

Exactly! It’s like trading comfort for control. Anyone tested how it feels in the rain?

26

I’ve driven in wet conditions with the kit. It’s definitely grippier than stock, but you need to be careful with power slides!

27

That’s reassuring. I always worry about losing control in the rain. Seems like a solid upgrade for performance enthusiasts!

28

Just remember, the more angle you have, the more you have to know about car control! It’s not a set-and-forget upgrade.

29

Right! More angle means more skill required. It can get a bit hairy if you’re not paying attention!

30

So true! I guess that’s why it can be controversial among drivers. Anyone had any mishaps?

31

I tried pushing my limits and ended up in a curb! Definitely learned the hard way about oversteering with the kit.

32

Ouch! That’s a tough lesson. Anyone have tips for managing that extra angle?

33

Practice makes perfect! Start slowly and gradually increase your confidence with the car’s new feel. You got this!

I’ve been looking into E36 SLR angle kits too! I’ve heard that companies like BC Racing and Wisefab offer excellent kits. Anyone had experience with those?

35

I can vouch for BC Racing! Their kits are well-made and compatible with most E36 models without any major issues.

36

I’ve seen mixed reviews about Wisefab, though. Some say they’re good for drifting but not always the best for street use. Has anyone tested the durability?

37

I’ve got a Wisefab kit, and it’s held up fine for me! Just make sure you’re doing regular maintenance.

What about compatibility? I have an E36 M3; can I use the same angle kit or do I need something specific?

39

Great question, rcruz! Many E36 angle kits can be adapted for M3 models, but double-check the specs. Some installations may need slight modifications.

I’ve looked at some retailers online. Where do you all recommend buying? Some sellers on eBay seem sketchy.
