The long-awaited BMW E36 DIY kit has finally arrived. Have you ever wanted to run Wisefab on your E36 BMW, but found the price too high or the width too wide for your car? You can now build a kit that meets your requirements by modifying your OEM control arms. It requires a fair amount of measuring, cutting, and welding, but the result is a cost-effective and capable lock kit suitable for both street and competition use.
This video explains the entire process in detail.
- The knuckle add-ons are the same classic Wisefab parts we have used in our Pro kits for years.
- The wishbone extensions, lock stoppers, bearing housings, and the bearings themselves are also made from the same materials we use in our Pro kits.
- Camber plates are not included. They are optional and can be purchased separately.
- Tie rods (inner and outer) are not included. However, the necessary parts can be easily purchased from spare parts stores. For the inner tie rods, use Ford/Mazda part number EC0132240 or YL8Z3280EA. For the tie rod ends, use Ford/Mazda part number EC0132280 or 5L843289AA. Note! When purchasing tie rods, ensure the inner end (rack side) has an M14x1.5 male thread and the outer end has an M16x1.5 male thread.
Attention! Please be sure to read the installation instructions before and after your purchase. This will provide you with an overview of the necessary tools and workload.
Before Ordering
〇 Regarding Import Consumption Tax
At Shaft-ya shopping site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there will be no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇Checking Compatibility
All of our product databases are based on North American vehicles (USDM), so please check if the parts are compatible with Japanese vehicles (JDM) before ordering. (If you are unsure whether the listed product is compatible with your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will investigate for you.)
If you order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if products are sorted by selecting the year, manufacturer, and vehicle model in the tabs on our home page, this does not necessarily mean they will fit Japanese model vehicles without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. There may be confusing expressions, so please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding Shipping
Shipping costs will be paid at the time of checkout. Shipping estimates are calculated automatically when you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, the automatically calculated shipping cost may rarely differ significantly from the actual shipping cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
Basically, all products are shipped internationally from our U.S. warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping in Japan, international shipping takes about 7 to 14 days, so please allow plenty of time for your order. If you are in a hurry, please contact us in advance to confirm delivery times. All products are transported by air. They will not be shipped by sea.
○ Regarding Compliance with Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken)
Essentially, all products we handle are designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they are not compliant with the "Japanese Vehicle Inspection system," and we cannot provide strength calculation documents for that purpose. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private land, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○ Regarding Warranty
Please check the contents immediately upon arrival. Since all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be shipping damage to the packaging or the product itself. Please understand that we will only provide returns, refunds, or exchanges for products with shipping damage, defective products, or incorrect items if you contact us within 7 days of receipt. Furthermore, regarding products sold through us, warranty-related support will be provided "only through us." Please note that we do not handle support through other companies or distributors located in Japan.
