FDF Raceshop - LZ Spec E36 Angle Kit

The LZ Spec E36 Angle Kit was built for one driver. Adam LZ told us how he wants the front of his E36 to feel, and we built the geometry around the way he drives. High KPI for steering feel, a lot of positive Ackermann and a strong centering force, all locked in where Adam runs his winning setup.

There's very little to tune. Camber and caster adjust at the top hat and bump steer is set with washers at the outer tie-rod. Everything else is fixed, so you bolt it on and you're running the same front end Adam does.

Turn the wheel and see the Ackermann, weight jacking, KPI, caster and roll center on the real kit geometry.

Key Features:

• Angle: 70 degrees at full lock.
• KPI: About 23 degrees. Turning the wheel lifts the front of the car, so the wheel comes back to center quickly and you can feel exactly where the front tires are.
• Weight Jacking: At 40 degrees of steering the inside front corner lifts about 22mm. That puts load on the light rear tire in a drift and gives more forward bite at big angle.
• Ackermann: Positive Ackermann, about 2 degrees more on the inside wheel at 40 degrees and more near full lock. The front tires drag against each other a little, which makes the front end lighter and lets it slide.
• Caster: About 8.7 degrees with 35mm of trail, for a strong, steady centering force that isn't heavy at full lock.
• Scrub Radius: About 28mm. Enough to feel the tire, small enough that bumps and brake loads don't pull the wheel.
• Camber and Caster Adjustment: Adjusts at the top hat, about 20mm each way. Adam runs the middle of the slot.
• Bump Steer: Adjustable with washers under the outer tie-rod end.
• Roll Center: About 150mm off the ground at Adam's ride height, so the front still rolls and loads the outside tire through a transition.

Adam's Setup:

• Front Tire Pressure: 16 to 24 psi to balance the front against the rear. He airs the fronts up over 50 psi for backwards entries.
• Front Toe: 1" out on flat tracks, 1/2" out on banked tracks.
• Front Springs: 12 kg/mm (about 670 lb/in) with a large aftermarket front sway bar and no rear bar.
• Front Wheel: BC Forged 17x9 +12.

Use these as a starting point. Adam's full setup, including his ride heights, is on the LZ Spec page.

Note: You must have coilovers to run this kit.
