It is the only kit offering toe gain under compression, with the ability to set it up for zero bump steer as well. All other options will toe out under compression, which is not ideal for rear grip and control in drifting or racing. The changes made to the knuckles were simulated and tested to optimize the already great trailing arm suspension for the E36\/E46 chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProven Track Record:\u003c\/strong\u003e Field-tested by professional driver Connor O'Sullivan, who took second overall in his 2024 Formula Drift season.
