SPL Rear Toe Links – BMW E8X / E9X / F2X / F3X & 1M

OVERVIEW

SPL Parts TITANIUM Series Rear Toe Arms (RTA) increase stability and response by eliminating bushing deflection, while providing a far wider range of rear toe adjustment than the factory arms. That range is necessary on lowered cars and for performance alignments, because even small changes to ride height and camber shift toe settings. The result is more grip on a track car and longer tire life on a street car.

The factory rear toe arms adjust with an eccentric bolt and washer and lack the precision and range the SPL links offer. Black anodized, gun drilled 2024 aluminum main links combine with SPL's 6061-T6 aluminum 360-degree Rotating Clamp and blue anodized titanium socket head cap screws for quick, precise adjustment. Three-piece FK rod ends made in Connecticut use a chemically bonded, self-lubricating PTFE liner for quiet, low-friction articulation with no bushing deflection under load.

Choose the non-M link for the E82 / E88 135i, E9X 335i and the F2X / F3X 2, 3 and 4 Series, or the M version (SPL RTA E9M) for the E82 1M.

TECH RESOURCES

Additional Parts Required

• Four-wheel alignment after installation — mandatory. Rear toe must be reset once the arms are fitted.
• Professional installation is recommended; these are safety-critical suspension components.
• Corner weighting is recommended for track use.
• A 3/16" allen key is required to lock the rotating clamps; the installer supplies this.
• The stock eccentric bolts slip under high cornering loads; to lock the alignment in, order the version with SPL's eccentric lockout hardware in the box instead: SPL Rear Toe Links with Eccentric Lockout.
• To use the full rear toe range on a lowered car, pair these with adjustable rear upper arms: SPL Rear Upper Camber Arms – BMW E8X / E9X / F2X / F3X / F8X.
