BMW E46 Mild Mantis Angle Kit
The E46 Mild Mantis delivers serious angle and full on-car adjustability in a more subtle track width than the Mega kit — a great middle ground for grassroots and street-driven builds.
It's a full knuckle kit with on-car alignment tweaks, strong geometry, and dialed steering feel, and you can choose between the standard E46 knuckle or our E36 knuckle option:
E36 knuckles on the E46 option benefits!
The E36 knuckle is far superior to the E46 knuckle because it is a stronger, lighter, simpler mounting design, and is a cheaper knuckle to build. It allows for a longer shock (50mm longer for more stroke), and allows for camber to be adjusted at the knuckle and the top of the coilover. It will bolt up to the E46 chassis as long as you have E36 front coilovers. This is what every pro driver with an E46 runs, including some of our drivers such as Adam LZ, Dylan Hughes, and Jonathan Hurst, all seen in PRO FD.
Key Features:
- Adjustability: Our lower control arm/lollipop design gives you on-car fine-tuning for caster, a feature not found in other kits.
- Angle: 70 degrees depending on your steering rack setup.
- Ackermann: Adjustable Ackermann.
- Roll Center: Optimized handling by adding 40mm of roll center correction.
- Bump Steer: Minimal bump steer in drift by perfecting tie-rod pickup location.
- Caster: Displaced caster built into the knuckle for optimal alignment force.
- Camber: Optimized camber ranging from -3 to -6.
- Track Width: 26mm wider per side, keeping a more subtle track width while still offering tons of clearance and angle.
- Suspension Travel: Long travel range, full lock to full lock at any point throughout suspension travel for increased grip.
- Joints: Chromoly Heim joints, and spherical bearings with self-lubricating nylon race, easily replaceable.
- Durable, Reliable & Lightweight: Made from high strength alloy steel and Aluminum.
