Ep9 E36 Budget Angle Mods: The Ultimate Guide

[@AVlongboarding]

This is the video I’ve been waiting for. Gunna do this to my 36 soon

[@northeastgiants775]

Lets go baby get it done bro E36 = funday Sunday

[@Bloxyz]

Nice video, but the "budget" version, would grind down the hexagon shaped part on the e46 arm to a round part so it would fit the e36 bushing.

[@aldorodriguez2659]

I had rubbing issue's with this same setup, I bought 50mm front wheel spacers to fix that

[@anasparekh3049]

Hey Jon how's it going man, so I thought id hit you up, I had a similar set up to the one you had with the e36 bmw. What I did is I used e46 arms like you had, and e90 outer tie rods which I cut so that they were about a centimeter longer than the original ones. I didn't use the ebay spacers for the tie rods, and I had set my toe out so that it was 1/8 of an inch in total using toe plates. I am having some understeer issues when I go fast into a turn, even when I try to flick it in. My friend who has an e36 did the e46 arms, left the tie rods stock and used the ebay spacers and is having similar problems. Not sure if you were having similar issues and had to adjust certain things, I'm not too sure what it could be. I have pretty grippy tires in the front, and my car is not grinding or hitting anything inside the wheel well when turning. Need some help!

[@timmyns4941]

What if you use the stock e36 outer tie rods?is that going to affect the steering for daily driving cause I don't need too much angle on my e36.thank you

[@jensabrahamsson9839]

Isn't the lollipops bushing mounted wrong? Shouldnt it widen the trackwidht and increase camber? It could decrease your rubbing issue or am I thinking wrong? 🙂

[@micksmith3021]

Yes they are wrong.. it will reduce CASTER like that..

[@DJ.1001]

For the price of all the parts and the hassle of sourcing everything you can just buy an E-Factory full angle kit. More angle, better geometry and the price difference is not all that much.

[@viktorgrin3930]

Hey there. I did the same thing you did but also got e90 inner tie rods. I was wondering want alignment spec you did for your set up or where I can find a alignment spec for stock e36 with bullstien shocks

[@Minkflo17]

Dont use the angle block adapters, there soft aluminum, not tapered, your tie rods will wallow out and be loose until it falls out probably on a bump when ur doing over 60 u loose control, i tried these on my e36 to e46 control arm swap, guys at the shop couldnt get it aligned because of the taper just shifting

[@jspeedracing]

Really? Ill look into that. I have had really good luck with them so far. So has a buddy of mine. Thank you for the input.

[@Minkflo17]

Jon Drives id check it if i were you, for me it wasnt safe to drive, if they are working for you thats great, i had no luck with them had to take it off which sucks cause i really wanted more angle, still got the e46 arms though so not all bad

[@nickshreffler6401]

Good video 👍🏼

[@josueminieves9689]

So i can use my original e36 tie rod set up for this ebay lock and e46 arms set up? Right ? Im just trying to clear up some doubts

[@jspeedracing]

Josue MI Nieves Yes I believe so. I just noticed I’m rubbing a little on my lower control arms after a bunch of drifting and driving. So I might need to adjust some things or spacers or something.

[@josueminieves9689]

Jon Drives thank you for the fast reply!!! I read anything over 30mm spacer would help. Please keep making more videos !!👍

[@asmurr97]

Will I need e46 or e36 ball joints sorry for the stupid question

[@jspeedracing]

Adrian Smurr e46. They come in the arms

[@asmurr97]

@@jspeedracing ohhh alrighty thank man good job gonna start watching more of your videos

[@walters1144]

Hey, just wanted to know if it's also worth installing 4mm rack spacers with this set up, I got the knuckle adapters as a Christmas gift and I'll be getting e46 arms as well

[@jspeedracing]

Walter S I’m not super familiar with the rack spacer. It’s a good budget setup though. Merry Christmas

[@FryboyFabricates]

i may do this instead of slr idk yet im just trying to keep the build cost down

[@odzeradodriftera]

Good Job 😎💪

[@hasan_chop86]

Sooo....what happened with the sway bar linkage?

[@jspeedracing]

Hasan Abdulhamid haven’t been running one. You don’t technically need one unless you’re trying to get max grip in drift. I’m going to figure out a setup for one soon. Good question

[@zachkarr6686]

Jon Drives you’ll need m3 from coil overs. I’m running BC extreme lows they have a mounting tab on the coil over sleeve to attach sway bar to strut. M3 had different front lower control arms and struts to add quality to the M brand via handling

[@Funkyflykiwi]

Is the hole in the angle block for the tierod actually tapered?

[@jspeedracing]

I believe so

[@kyl12121]

Its not

[@TimursYT]

Your growing views and subs

[@daperturedan3454]

Did you change the alligment at all?

[@jspeedracing]

Daniel Rosengren drift you want some camber and a very tiny bit of toe out. But this alignment, I just had straight

[@Seajaymiller]

Hey man those lock adapters, how are they holding up? I had a set but they felt super cheap and sketchy haha. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

[@Minkflo17]

Colton Miller i did this exqct swap on my e36 last week, tried to get a alignment yesterday at a shop, the guys told me that the tie rods just keep moving around because of the lock adapter, so idk what to do but takem off, maybe theres a specific tie rod that goes with them but these guys see to have it working

[@TheCorster101]

So what hex condor bushing for the e46 arms did you buy?

[@jspeedracing]

Offset I believe

[@TheCorster101]

@@jspeedracing the hex size?

[@blind1569]

did you do anything right ?

[@jspeedracing]

Yes, the car has worked flawlessly for years!!!

[@sethcari6850]

what lollipop housings did you buy !

[@jspeedracing]

Stock

[@jspeedracing]

I think I reused the stock ones

[@sethcari6850]

@@jspeedracing okay thank you , i’ve been debating to order new ones but idk , did you just use a torch and hammer them out or ?

[@DirtyMikeSlays]

What did you do with the sway bar link that hooks up to the control arms? I'm thinking about just drilling a hole for it or does it really make that much of a difference

[@jspeedracing]

Mikey O I left mine disconnected. Didn’t feel a ton of difference

[@randomchicken0490]

You could be pewds brother😂 but with better english!
