    To be fair the GT4 come on Cup 2s or the Dunlop equivalent from factory. Cup 2s outer shoulders are designed to resist the wear and blistering you experienced with the 4s (which is a high performance 'road' tyre). I'm looking forward to the series but hope you'll make your fast road/track suspension changes using Cup 2s or an equivalent 'premium' track orientated tyre to do justice to the GT4 chassis.

    Amazing video as always. I had the M-Performance HAS kit on my G87 and I wasn’t in love with the ride quality. I upgraded to KWv3 and it rides day and night better. Obviously, a lot more money, but a true coilover system is amazing.

    Hey, is there a general guideline for adjusting the length of trailing arms? Do you typically increase the length by increments of 10mm - 15mm? Also, if you adjust it longer to improve traction, can you reduce the total toe-in for a rear-wheel drive setup?

    • @SuspensionSecrets
      @SuspensionSecrets Před měsícem

      Hi thanks for the message. We have an exact length difference over standard that we advise to set the traction arm length too but we only give out the exact figure to customers on purchase of the traction arms. You can reduce toe slightly too with the traction arms fitted which helps to reduce the straight line drag from the rear tyres 👍

    The issue with the 2NH kit is not fitting behind 18’s like a lot run 😢

    • @SuspensionSecrets
      @SuspensionSecrets Před měsícem

      That is true but not the be all and end all. We will have a video coming soon on wheel sizes and the decision making behind choosing a diameter. A lot of people move to 18’s for tyre choices but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best route to take 👍 bigger wheels do allow bigger brakes and larger circumference tyres that can manage surface temperatures and pressure rises more efficiently too 👍

      @davetreanor5303 Před měsícem

      @@SuspensionSecretsthanks for the feedback. My only real gripe with oem discs is the droning sound when braking from anything over 270km/h on autobahn. Discs end up having blue colour smear on them as they are probably heating up too quickly. They clean up after some daily driving. I’m looking to have confidence in them at high speed. Also may I ask did you bleed the abs modules with ISTa? I got steel lines and Castrol SRF when swapped to 2NH kit but pedal is still spongy.

    Are you guys running with MDM mode on? Turning the traction fully off makes a huge difference. Even with traction just set to MDM, the brakes are being activated a lot and this causes them to overheat.

    • @SuspensionSecrets
      @SuspensionSecrets Před měsícem

      We were initially running with MDM on but have had it fully off for a while now on track. It did help the length of time before warping but still warped on the blue caliper setup

    What are your thoughts on the caster adjustable thrust arm polyurethane bush vs the camber plates, for an F80 CS that's primarily used on road but requires additional camber. Thanks.

    • @SuspensionSecrets
      @SuspensionSecrets Před měsícem

      The camber plates definitely can’t be beaten in terms of performance improvement as the caster bushes offer better steering feel and some camber increase but the F80 chassis is so lacking in camber as standard that they really need the dramatic change that a camber plate has to offer. Even in the roads 👍 The bearing we use in our camber plates is designed to not increase noise or NVH on the roads too making it an ideal upgrade 👍

    Apex uses the stock calipers for their Nurburgring track M4… And I think the (heavy) 666m wheels are bad for air flow and for brake cooling.

    • @SuspensionSecrets
      @SuspensionSecrets Před měsícem

      Yes the Nurburgring is actually kinder on brakes than most race circuits as there are longer periods of time before pressing the brakes heavily. On circuits the time between heavy braking sessions are much shorter, leading to a much sharper temp rise 👍

    100% on choosing the centre of the hub over the disc face for cooling. But.... On applications where it is very difficult to have this kind of cooling like a FWD car I have found having some cooling even to the disc face is better than nothing. It is a worst case scenario for sure but it can work just about if required.

    • @SuspensionSecrets
      @SuspensionSecrets Před měsícem

      Definitely any cooling is better than none for sure 👍 for FWD we have found that ducting air towards the braking assembly instead of all the way up to it is a nice option as it blows air around the assembly which keeps the temperature differentiation quite even still 👍

    • @SuspensionSecrets

      Thanks very much. The endless pads are quite good for road and track use as they wear nicely and have less squeal when cold. For track we like the Pagid RL29 but they do squeal when cold quite a lot.

  • @DaleDoherty-cz9xm
    @DaleDoherty-cz9xm Před měsícem

    Have you tried EBC RPX pads? I've heard the pagids still deposit giving the warped feel. I did a day on a stock f80 comp and swapped the pads out for the day and had no fade, a bit noisy and left a lot of metal on the wheels but worked really well, I swapped back to stock pads on the road and no warpage. Suppose it depends how hard you drive but I was really impressed.

    • @SuspensionSecrets
      @SuspensionSecrets Před měsícem

      We did and we tried the endless too but all pads ultimately warped the discs. The issue was the size of the pads with the small calipers. As soon as we moved to larger surface area calipers and pads the heat dissipated better through the discs and stopped the warping. We span the discs on the lathe each time too to ensure that it was definitely the disc that had warped and not pad deposit 👍
