How is the SPL EL E9M different from the SPL EL E9X non-M combined lockout?

Both kits eliminate both rear camber and toe arm eccentric bolts in a single purchase, but they are designed for different rear subframe configurations. The EL E9M is for the E8X M-Series (E82M, 1M) and E9X M-Series (M3), which use the M Version rear subframe. The EL E9X is for the non-M E8X and E9X standard models. The two kits are not interchangeable; confirm your specific chassis and trim level before ordering.

Does the SPL EL E9M cover both the E8X 1M and the E9X M3?

Yes. One part number covers both the E8X M-Series (E82M and 1M) and the E9X M-Series (M3) platforms under the same kit. Both models share the M Version rear subframe configuration that this kit is designed for.

Do I need adjustable camber and toe arms before installing the EL E9M?

Yes, and both are hard requirements. Removing the camber arm eccentric eliminates the factory camber adjustment mechanism; without adjustable rear upper camber arms, camber cannot be set after installation. Removing the toe arm eccentric eliminates the factory toe adjustment mechanism; without adjustable rear toe arms, toe cannot be set after installation. The SPL RUA E9X provides rear camber adjustment and the SPL RTA E9M provides rear toe adjustment for M Version models; both should be installed before or at the same time as this lockout kit.

Can I buy just the camber lockout or just the toe lockout if I only need one position addressed?

Yes. The SPL ELC E9X (camber arm only) and SPL ELT E9X (toe arm only) are available separately for builds that only need one position locked out. For builds addressing both positions simultaneously, the EL E9M combined kit is the more efficient choice.

What hardware is included in the SPL EL E9M kit?

The kit includes CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum lockout plates, CAD-plated grade 10.9 bolts, lock nuts, and washers for both the rear camber arm and rear toe arm positions at both rear corners. Sold as a complete one-car kit at $65.00. Part number: SPL EL E9M.

SPL Parts Rear Camber and Toe Eccentric Lockout Kit for E8M BMW 1M and E9M M3

The E9x M3 and E8x 1M generate substantially higher lateral loads than the standard 3 and 1 Series models they share a platform with. The factory eccentric bolts managing rear camber and toe alignment on these M cars are the same friction-based hardware as the rest of the range; they were not upgraded for the M model’s higher cornering forces. Under sustained hard driving, those bolts rotate, and when they do, both camber and toe shift simultaneously. The alignment the driver expected for the session is no longer what the car is running; handling consistency degrades mid-session in a way that’s hard to diagnose and impossible to address without going back on the alignment rack. The SPL EL E9M combined eccentric lockout kit eliminates that problem at both positions in a single purchase. CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum lockout plates replace the factory eccentric bolt hardware at both the rear camber arm and rear toe arm positions on both rear corners. CAD-plated grade 10.9 bolts with lock nuts create mechanically fixed connections; neither position can rotate under any load applied during performance driving. The alignment set before the session holds through every corner of every lap.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
