  • ** Update** SPL parts is aware that the OEM bolt does not fit over the rear trailing arm and have since included longer bolts upon purchase. If you have a kit that does not include them feel free to reach out to them and upgrade this part of your car.

    WOW did this mod yesterday on my F30 after adding lowering springs & this was night & day difference for me. AMAZING TUTORIAL FRITZ!

    Ordered these a few weeks after your video came out, and I installed them today thanks to the help of your video. I typically don’t like doing these things by myself, but I felt this install was pretty straightforward. SPL included the new bolts as well. Thanks again.

      Awesome! Always glad to hear that the video encouraged someone to do the job themself.

    Keep up the good work bro. Loving the vids! Not many creators doing tutorials for our m235i's! Cheers from Australia.

    Great video, definitely deserve more reach and views.
    How would you say about the NVH change after the install?
    Do you plan to do upgrade the rest of the rear arms too?

    • @FritzRamos
      @FritzRamos  2 года назад +1

      Thank you. These cause almost no additional NVH and I might if I see them on sale.

      Would you say it's good value/ good place for an upgrade?
      Cos from what I heard, rear arms don't give that much of a difference.
      What do you think about doing solid/delrin rear subframe mount?

    Awesome video! Planning to do this with Turner RTA's this weekend. I am on the fence on replacing the bushing in the wheel carrier while I have the arm off. Any reason you chose not to? You think it's a waste of my time?

      @FritzRamos  2 года назад

      They didn't have spherical ones at the time

    Hi Fritz, I'm experiencing a yaw, or right and left "push" or "drift" in the rear under heavy acceleration, it's significant. Did this upgrade help to take that away?

    These cool for xdrive?

    Hey.
    Nice vid. Would you say its a bit dangerous to upgrade these arms because these don't crumple like the stock arms in the event of a crash?

    • @FritzRamos
      @FritzRamos  2 года назад

      The crash would have to be about perpendicular to the rear wheel and in that event it would be. The trade off is the performance aspect and locking in the alignment

      @@FritzRamos Like a T bone incident where the nose of the other vehicle hits yours at the rear wheel forward section pushing the toe arm into the fuel tank. This happens very often.
