SPL Parts Front Tension Rods - BMW M3/M4 RWD (G80/G82/G83)

OVERVIEW

BMW G8X Tension Rods (TR) provide a wide range of front caster adjustment, allowing precise alignment for optimal turn-in response and to compensate for variances between left and right caster. Low-friction, smooth-articulating FK spherical bearings eliminate the stock mushy rubber bushing to provide a more responsive steering feel. Anti-dive geometry can also be tuned with the use of SPL's stainless steel spacers.

Billet aluminum alloy 2024 hex rods are precision CNC machined and gun drilled to reduce unsprung weight while maintaining high strength and stiffness. SPL's exclusive 360-degree rotating clamp design allows easy access to quickly and precisely lock in your desired alignment settings.
