E90 Steering / Suspension

Description

For E90, E91, E92, E81, E82, E87, E88 M and non M. Brackets included to fit M brake caliper. Either M or non M front coilovers would work with Wisefab E90 knuckle.
65 degrees of lock, parallel steering. As an option, there would be a possibility to buy Ackermann adjustment kit. You could tune your steering geometry either towards positive or negative Ackermann in just a few minutes even at trackside without messing up an alignment.
Adjustable lock stopper.
All the metal components on Wisefab E90 front suspension are from high strength steel, including sheetmetal components, tubes, tube ends and rod end housings. Rod ends and spherical bearings are used, no rubber bushings.
Lower links are replaced with one arm. 2 lower links would have some benefits for circuit racing, but for drifting with higher steering angle the stiffness and packaging would become an issue. Therefore lower one piece arm is used.
Higher roll center (RC). Lowering the drift car is a good benefit to increase performance and handling, but this would mess up the original factory designed kinematics. It lowers the roll center and increases camber gain. On Wisefab knuckle, joints are dropped, which brings the front RC up on lowered car, providing higher roll stiffness and letting to remove the front anti roll bar (sway bar) that is quite difficult to package with that high lock angles.
Very good camber control and minimal bump steer with high steering angles. On drift cars the dynamic camber and bump steer is much more important than static. With our kinematics we have assured that the camber would provide very good front grip and bump steer is minimal at all the range of steering.
Steering jacking control. During steering the car chassis is moving up and down – this is called jacking. Steering jacking is caused by combination of caster, KPI, trail and scrub. On road cars, this effect is used sometimes to balance the car or to help to turn in. During drifting, when steering angle is much bigger, jacking is also bigger, even with the same geometry and it could become a problem. We have changed the geometry that it doesn’t cause any handling issues.
Consistent and predictable self-alignment torque. Caster is not the only important parameter to provide sufficient self-alignment torque especially at high lock. It’s the combination of different parameters to maintain consistent trail and self-alignment torque. With our setup the steering wheel turns always to the direction of movement and doesn’t get stuck at full lock.
Original wheel speed sensor (ABS sensor) can be used.

Other components, packaging and clearance.
This kit assumes coilovers to have enough clearance.
Ride height is designed to be ~80mm from front subframe to ground
Dependent on rim width and ET, wider fenders or fender flares would be needed.
Inner wheel wells do not need to be modified with tire diameter up to 635mm (215/45R17, 225/45R17, 235/40R17, 225/40R18 etc). Minimum rim diameter is 17”.
Recommended backspacing is ~135mm (7“ ET45; 8“ ET35; 9“ ET20). If ET is smaller, then wheels stay more outwards, if ET is bigger, then spacers need to be used.
The kit is designed and manufactured the way that after installation and toe adjustment it’s ready to use right away.

Description

Works with E90, E91, E92, E81, E82, E87, E88 non M models.
M model also available. Link lengths are different between non M and M. When ordering, let your dealer know which one is needed. Shock absorbers and brakes can be used either from M and non M as Wisefab components have attachments for both.
Revised kinematics, not just dropped knuckle. If the focus is more towards performance, then the car can act better with lowered ride height, but then the factory designed kinematics wouldn’t work as it supposed to. The Wisefab kit would give a good kinematics with lowered car – higher roll center, , revised camber gain, anti-squat and bump steer for maximum grip.
All the metal components on Wisefab E90 Rear suspension are from high strength steel, including sheet metal components, tubes, tube ends and rod end housings. Also for weight reduction and stiffness purposes all the suspension links are designed straight and tubular or boxed type. Rod ends and spherical bearings used, no rubber bushings.
Easy camber adjustment – As the top links are straight tubular type, then camber can be adjusted simply by changing their length.
Bump steer adjustment – Possibility to adjust bump steer by changing rod end location in a slot.
Anti-squat adjustment possibility – Possibility to adjust anti-squat by changing the top forward link height on upright. It can be done in less than 10 minutes at the trackside. Lowering link would increase anti-squat, raising it would decrease anti-squat.
Original wheel speed sensor (ABS sensor) can be used
Other components

Hub to hub length (track) is the same as original, as this is defined by halfshaft lengths.
This kit assumes lower (shorter) springs or coilovers to lower the car.

Possibility to use bigger CV joint ø110mm (Driveshaftshop 1200 hp)

Minimum rim size is 17″
