This steering lock kit for BMW 1 Series E81, E82, E87, E88 is exclusive to DriftShop. Unlike our competitors, the kit is totally “plug & play”, and delivered in the entire form of the front axle, complete with hubs, bearings and subframe. By replacing the OEM aluminium subframe with the steel subframe, this reinforces the front axle for intensive use (the stock subframe tends to crack over time).

The new DriftMax subframe relocates the steering rack for improved control and angle, with a “banana arm” type alignment (like on E30, E36, E46 chassis), which is more adapted for drifting. Offering a lock angle of up to 70°, this kit is compatible with OEM 300 and 330 mm brakes. The track width is also increased to 1.70 m between left and right hubs.

The DriftMax knuckles have been manufactured to raise the roll center back to its stock position on lowered vehicles, for perfect alignment and absolute control, even at steering lock limit where the wheels are perfectly aligned and parallel (zero Ackerman effect and reduced bump steer).

In order to optimize geometry and offer more adjustability, the kit has been designed for E36 front shock absorbers. If you already have coilovers for E9X, optional lower brackets for E36 coilovers are available. Installation on M3 E90 and E92 is possible, with adaptation to fit the stock 348 mm brakes. Contact us for more information.

All the accessories required for the installation (bolts, brackets and polybushes) are made from high quality steel and 95 Sha polyurethane, for optimal resistance and long life. All spare parts are available on demand and are permanently in stock.
