Extending Axles

Julioc10 · 07-01-2014, 09:14 PM

Does anybody know how to or is it even possible to extend your axles? I'm trying to extend it because I'm trying to run a lot of camber to make my wheels tuck but when I added so much camber my axel popped out so I had to run less camber. Any help will be appreciate it. Thanks guys

Just how much negative camber are we talking about? On what model and year Z4?

Around -12 or more.

Is this for a track experiment or are you doing it for a look? Sounds extreme.

He's bagged and looking to do so for looks.

I'm guessing -12 is a typo? The greatest negative camber I've seen rear here is a bit overview-3. Front maybe -4. I know this is for an airbag suspension, but at -12 static (if that's not a typo) I'd think you'd be just running on the inner tire sidewall! But I'll admit I know nothing of the air bag scene.

I am guessing he is going for something like this...

why is everyone being so negative in this thread?

Mechanically, how does this work? If you continue the axels through, your looking at a 30-40 degree angle at the spline input.. Maybe you don t want to extend the axels, but wanna put a cv-joint on each side

that would also give you the illusion of the extended axel and you won't need new bearings/seals every 500 miles :-)

I am going to look into that. I'm trying not to extend them but if I have to I will. Thanks guys for all the help!

How much detail time? Paint really pops!

To be honest with you I didn't get time to detail it. I just washed it when I got to Dallas and that's about it. But thanks!

There's a tiny gap between the hood and the bumper. Screws under the hood can adjust that.

Vanne · 07-05-2014, 11:46 PM

Love the indicators/lights in your front spoiler. Nice job, and yeah as stated before, very nice paint job mate :-)

jdoublehcubed · 07-06-2014, 09:00 PM

paint looks great, but please put those rims back on a civic or something.

That is just a standard Z4 bumper with fogs. Your M bumper doesn't have the fogs.

Vanne · 07-07-2014, 08:29 AM

Fogs? They look more like led indicators??
