Description
The OEM BMW rear upper control arms can become a limiting factor when trying to lower an E36 and still retain a good level of suspension travel. On the OEM arms the area between the spring and the hub hits the chassis of a low car, limiting ride height/suspension travel.
The unique kinked shape of the HyperBreak BMW E36 Adjustable Rear Upper Arms allow for 80mm more suspension travel than the OEM arms before fouling on the chassis. This will allow the user to greatly lower the rear of their E36 and still have a good amount of suspension travel.
The arms feature a high quality female rod end and turnbuckle system which allows for easy adjustment of the arm even when installed on the car. They have 36mm of adjustment and can be set to a minimum length of 18mm shorter than OEM or a max length of 18mm longer than OEM. This length adjustment gives the user more control over the toe and camber settings for the rear wheels or can be used to dial in wheel fitment.
The anti-roll bar compatible version of the arm comes with an extra bracket welded to the arm as well as an adjustable shortened droplink (this the same droplink that the E36 drop arms use). The droplink bolts to the arm with the supplied M8 nut and bolt and the bushing slips onto the ARB in the same way that the OEM droplink does. It is recommended that the droplinks length is set to 75-80mm (hole to hole).
The arms can be provided in either a gold zinc plating (pictured) or in raw steel if you would like to paint/coat them yourself.
The arms are directional (there is a right arm and a left arm). The arms are stamped underneath with an L or and R to denote which side of the car they must be installed on.
