Lower Control Arm Monoball Racing Kit:

Monoball lower control arm bearings address the deflection associated with the stock bushings that negatively affect steering response as well as exacerbating the effects of brake shimmy, which can be particularly noticeable when larger brakes are installed. Ride quality is also improved as the monoball bearings are actually more compliant. Featuring racing quality, spherical bearings in precision machined aluminum housings, the bearings are substantially larger than competing products for greater load handling capabilities. The Dinan monoball kit provides the benefits of greatly reduced deflection while offering reduced noise as compared to other competing products.

Dinan’s high performance rear toe link adds precision and predictability when the M3 is driven to the limit.

The stock rear toe link is built with rubber bushings and a curved forged alloy rod which is designed to flex. During hard acceleration this flex allows the rear wheels to have excessive toe change under hard acceleration and braking. All of this flex in the stock toe link causes the M3 to be unstable.

Dinan stops the flex by replacing the rubber bushings with Teflon coated machined steel rod ends and the OEM curved bar with a straight billet aluminum rod, thus adding stability. The Dinan rear toe link also incorporates a hex nut shaped center to aid in the necessary fine adjustment of the toe link that is tough to achieve using the stock link.

Rogue Engineering introduce its E90/92/93 M3 adjustable rear toe arms. These arms allow for greater toe adjustment for vehicles that have been lowered on coilover suspension. For E9X M3 owners with just lowering springs, these are not a necessary requirement.

How Low Can You Go?
When an E9X M3 is lowered beyond the limits of just lowering springs, the rear wheels toe-in excessively. This excessive rear toe can cause increased tire wear (faster than more camber). Here are the specifications for the E9X M3.

Factory Toe Specs Value
Min +0.10
Max +0.20
Preferred +0.15

On a recent install of coilovers, we discovered that the toe of the rear wheels had an incurable +0.81 left and right toe. Unfortunately, with the stock toe arms, we could not dial out the toe. Therefore, creating a strong, more adjustable part was in order.

The Right to Bear (Stronger) Arms
The sophisticated (and some say complicated) rear suspension of the current E9X M3s will undoubtedly be replicated by many other companies in the future. However, for those of us in the aftermarket, we're still learning about the little quirks of the suspension. By applying our experience with our E36 and E46 suspension components, Rogue have built arms that are strong and lightweight, while serving the needs of the rear suspension adjustments.

Rogue rear control arms are made from the highest quality components, from USA.

100% machined and anodized, 6061-T6 lightweight aluminum arms
High-strength, 3 piece, rod end (with carbon fiber reinforced, PTFE race) offers longer live for street use over standard rod ends
Seals-it Rod End Seals keep dirt, water and other contaminants out (Rogue Engineering is the ONLY company to incorporate this simple, yet effective item to extend the life of the rod end!)
Lighter than stock! (Stock is 875g, RE arms are 640g)
Extremely easy installation and adjustment

FRONT CAMBER TOP MOUNTS

Lowering the suspension on your car will also alter it's chassis geometry ( camber , castor, toe etc ) , so it is imperative to reset the full range of geometry settings following such installations to achieve the best possible chassis feel , handling , roadholding and tyre wear patterns .
Quite often an aftermarket lowering or coilover kit will take the geometry beyond the possible range of adjustment using the factory suspension components and mounts ; in these cases you must fit a good set of aftremarket alignment correction hardware .
Below are listed our recommended range of options for such products.

As an approximate guide for BMW cars, lowering the factory ride height by 50 mm will alter the Front Camber by 1.50 degrees and Rear Camber by 1.0 degrees . A 75 mm drop will alter by 2.50 degrees front and 2.00 rear .

These SPC kits offer increased front and rear camber adjustment , allowing you set your suspension to the exact required parameters.

Available for :

- E30 3 SERIES ( INC. M3)
- E36 3 SERIES ( INC. M3)
- E46 3 SERIES ( INC. M3)
- E85 Z4 INC ZM4
- E39 INC M5

Simple to install and hard wearing.

Probably the most overlooked suspension component in the performance world is the sway bar / anti roll bar end-link.
This simple component attaches the sway bar to each end of the suspension so the sway bar can do its job; promoting flat cornering of the vehicle in a turn.
This simple component can drastically hurt your car's performance if not optimized, especially in a BMW where high sway bar rates [and therefore high stresses] are common.

A sway bar with fixed length links can induce a load into any two cross-corners of your vehicle. The ability to neutralize the sway bar in your suspension system is a great advantage to baseline, balance, and refines your vehicle's handling characteristics. These links have achieved this by creating adapters that integrate current sway bar link technology to the traditional sway bar architecture. A worth while upgrade for any modified BMW.

Common issues with incorrect type or set up of drop links :

-Have you ever had a sway bar link bend..?
-Do you know if you are having suspension bind due to insufficient sway bar end link articulation (or simply poor design, bad bushing, etc)..?
-Have you ever had a sway-bar link fail at the welded joint between the ball and the link..?
-Do you want to properly corner weight your car..?

All these common issues that your vehicle may have had are addressed with this set.

These sway bar end links are the best solution, and unlike many others on the market these INCLUDE WEATHERPROOF "BOOTS" to help prevent the early demise of "open" type of drop link joints through corrosion / clogging .

Eliminate sway bar pre-load that adversely affects handling, strengthen your suspension, and truly optimize your setup with this strong Adjustable Sway Bar Link Set!... With no penalty, these links are quiet, just like OE links.

Put Simply: no matter at what ride height, stock or otherwise, OEM sway bar links are a weak link (literally) and add preload to your suspension. These adjustable links are superior to all other designs and unlike the upgraded units that may have come in your aftermarket sway bar kit, these have no polyurethane to squeak, tear, or blow out on the track.
These links feature a THK ball socket that is pre-lubricated, and sealed for durability and prolonged life. THK is an OE manufacturer for Porsche, Nissan, Honda, Ford, GM, Toyota and even BMW.

Ford In developing the new OEM suspension for their 2010 GT500, found these links made such a difference the factory test drivers believed the prototype sway bars had been re designed and they became OE equipment of this model. Thats an improvement!

The Benefits of This Design Over the OEM Sway Bar Links are:
•Heavy Duty Ball Socket Joint has excellent strength and life, never require servicing
•Large Diameter Link Rod to Resist Bending
•Designed for he needs of Racing and track use, and a Perfect Upgrade/ Replacement for Street Use!
•No Welded Joint to Fail
•Adjustable Design to Enable Corner Weighing and Swaybar Pre-load Adjustment and Yet Still Meet Racing Class Requirements
•High Mis-Alignment Design to Prevent Suspension Coil Bind (even better than spherical joints!)
•Joints are pre-greased and have a water-tight seal.
•Precision joint allows smooth operation.

WHEN ORDERING PLEASE SELECT REQUIRED PRIMARY LENGTH OF LINKS REQUIRED, 60,75, 85 OR 90 MM (See below to help you choose)
Tech Tip:
Measurements below are at stock ride height.
Longer or shorter length may vary accordingly to your ride height, geometry, clearance issues under the chassis around intercoolers/ oil coolers, body components, etc.
A good start is to order a longer length if your car is more than 1.5" lower than stock Here are some stock lengths, the Powergrid pieces are adjustable to fit the closest size application:

•E30 (M3), E24, E28, E34: front 60mm
•E36 M3: Front 60mm
•E39: Front 60mm (Stock Height. We recommend using 75mm if Lowered)
•E46 M3: Front 75mm
•E90: Front 60mm
•E60: Front 90mm

Note:
-End links do not fit non-M3 E36 (except 325i/is produced before 06/1992)
-Does not fit E30 rear, call or email for our kit for the E30 rear.

NOTE: PLEASE ADVISE WHAT SUSPENSION AND ANTI ROLL BARS YOU ARE USING
