The SPL Parts Titanium Series Front Tension Rods for the 2011-2013 BMW 1M (E82) are high-performance suspension components designed to enhance steering precision and alignment. Crafted from lightweight titanium, these tension rods provide increased durability and reduced weight for improved handling. They feature adjustable front caster settings, allowing for precise alignment to optimize turn-in response and overall steering feel. The incorporation of FK spherical bearings replaces the stock rubber bushings, delivering a more direct and responsive steering experience. Additionally, the rods enable tuning of anti-dive geometry through stainless steel spacers, offering further customization for performance driving.

Designed specifically for the E82 chassis, these tension rods are a direct replacement upgrade for the front suspension. They are ideal for track enthusiasts, spirited street driving, or any application requiring enhanced steering response and alignment flexibility. Installation involves replacing the stock tension rods with these adjustable units, providing a straightforward upgrade for improved handling characteristics. The kit includes the titanium tension rods and necessary spacers, ensuring a comprehensive upgrade. Suitable for use on 2011-2013 BMW 1M models, these components are engineered for durability and precise performance in demanding driving conditions.

Overview

SPL Parts TITANIUM Series Tension Rods (TR) for the 2016-2023 BMW M2 (F87) 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 our stainless steel spacers

Our parts are engineered for maximum performance. Billet Aluminum alloy 2024 hex rods are precision CNC machined and gun-drilled to reduce unsprung weight while maintaining high strength and stiffness. Our exclusive 360 degree Rotating Clamp design allows for easy access to quickly and precisely locking in your desired alignment settings. Blue Anodized Titanium hardware shaves even more unsprung weight from the arms and offers superior strength.

FK Bearings Rod Ends are manufactured in Connecticut. The JMX is an upgraded harden rod end used for superior added strength. Featuring a Teflon liner to provide quiet operation, low friction, smooth articulation and eliminates bushing deflection under load. The PTFE liner is chemically bonded to the inner diameter of the race. The liner offers a very high load carrying capacity and has greatly increased dynamic wear characteristics. The operating temperatures of the liner ranges from -65? to 325? F, offering robust reliability for both street and track use.

Made in the USA.
