Rogue
Engineering proud to introduce its E82/E9X adjustable rear toe arms.
These arms allow for greater toe adjustment for vehicles that have lowered
on coilover suspension. For E82/E9X owners with just lowering
springs, these are not a necessary requirement.
How
Low Can You Go?
When an E82/E9X is lowered beyond the limits of just lowering
springs, the rear wheels toe-in excessively. This excessive rear toe
can cause increased tire wear (faster than more camber). As an
example, here are
the specifications for the E9X M3.

On
a recent install of coilovers, we discovered that the toe of the rear
wheels had an incurable +0.81 left and right toe. Unfortunately,
with the stock toe arms, we could not dial out the toe. Therefore,
creating a strong, more adjustable part was in order.
For
standard spring-only suspension installs, there is
enough adjustment in the factory toe arms to bring them back into spec.
The
Right to Bear (Stronger) Arms
The sophisticated (and some say complicated) rear suspension of
the current E82/E9X will undoubtedly be replicated by many other companies
in the future. However, for those of us in the aftermarket, we're
still learning about the little quirks of the suspension. By
applying our experience with our E36 and E46 suspension components, we
have built arms that are strong and lightweight, while serving the needs
of the rear suspension adjustments.
Our
rear control arms are made from the highest quality components, from USA.
