  • Following on from having the Eibach Springs and TPR spacers fitted (along with ‪@remussportexhaust‬ axle back system) courtesy of the team ‪@MotechPerformance‬.
    I began looking into improving the handling of my BMW M2 Competition further. Courtesy of a recommendation from Super Car Driver I got in touch with Matt at Suspension Secrets with regards to what he could achieve by adjusting geometry and toe-in adjustment.
    Here you have a video of my experience and initial drive of the car post adjustment.
    HUGE THANK YOU to Matt for his time, professionalism and patience. A true gent whom I have no hesitation recommending to anyone looking for such services.
    you can find out more information on their AMAZING WEBSITE: www.suspensionsecrets.co.uk
    If only I had known about the amazing differences possible sooner!

    The beauty of front static toe out is that you immediately get the angle through initial inputs,thus more response,hugh benefit whether griping or drifting. However,if there were too much static toe out,while drifting,that would leads to understeer during extreme steering angle scenario,and thats caused by extreme dynamic toe out,some driver might think the car performs more "stable" for cornering.
    When it comes to the rear camber, the trick is to get the even contact patch of outside rear to have max grip while cornering in steady-state,that means you might have to check how much roll you have while cornering to fine tune the camber.
    The easiest way to understand rear toe in,is that the car tends to go straight in cornering,might think it as short wheelbase affect.
    Anyway nice video!The SuspensionSecrets is true expert when it comes to suspension.

    Great video. I had my M3 CP corner balanced and set up which made a big difference. In an M5 now as assumed without coilovers the improvement would be negligible (no corner balancing) - maybe I should rethink!

      I would highly recommend - the difference they made was by far the most noticeable of ANY performance mod i've ever done!
      PLEASE let us know how you get on.

    Interesting and similar conclusions to a fellow Cayman blogger when he had his geometry re-worked
    It really is about setting the car up to suit you and the challenge therefore becomes knowing what you are after. I’ll have a look at the website and thanks for filming, editing and sharing. Cheers Kevin.

    I have a 21 M2C on Eibach lowering springs.
    I find it bumpy on B roads and back end feels a little lively.
    Thinking adjustable coilovers and a geo..
    These cars have been on the road for awhile now.
    Is there a consensus on “ best set up” for fast road use & the odd track day.
    Thanks
    Great channel

      I think my Ohlins were pretty great chap.
      Hear good about MSS and Nitron too.
      If I had my time again I would like try Nitron and a geo set up 👌

    Did you notice any difference in front tyre wear, before and after the alignment? My fronts wore much quicker on the insides, and were with alignment within BMW parameters.

    • @CarMadDad
      @CarMadDad  Před 2 lety

      Hi Steve
      Only noticed more wear on the inside of fronts from camber adjustment but nothing else and nothing overly excessive IMO

    How much it costs this service?

    • @CarMadDad
      @CarMadDad  Před 3 lety +4

      I would contact Matt and Suspension Secrets direct chap as depending on your needs and what you do and don’t need will vary what can be done based on your car and requirements. This set up was £250 (plus £75 for travel to cover Matt being on the road for over 5 hours that day to get to me) which is extremely reasonable in my book. Obviously if you get to them direct you would not pay any travel costs etc
