BMW E46 MEGA MANTIS ANGLE KIT

One of our best-selling kits—and for good reason. The E46 Mega Mantis delivers big angle, serious adjustability, and proven performance whether you’re at a grassroots event or on a pro grid.

It’s a full knuckle kit with all the adjustability you’d expect: on-car alignment tweaks, strong geometry, and dialed steering feel. You get full lower control arms, and you can choose between two lower options to suit your setup:

• Mild Lower: 26mm wider per side—keeps a more subtle track width while still offering tons of clearance and angle.

• Mega Lower: 53mm wider per side—adds serious stability and max clearance, plus a fully adjustable tie rod setup.

  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), 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. 

   

Whatever setup you run, this kit gives you the control, response, and angle you need to drive hard.

Key Features:

• Adjustability: Our innovative lower control arm/lollipop design introduces on-car fine-tuning for caster, a unique feature not found in other kits.

• 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: 55mm wider per side, creating a stable and high clearance front end (Recommend front over fenders)
• 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 & Light-weight: Made from High strength alloy steel and Aluminum.
