Suspension Secrets Handling Pack 1 (Fast Road) – BMW E90 / E92 M3
Improve the precision, stability and cornering performance of your BMW E90 or E92 M3 with Suspension Secrets Handling Pack 1.
Designed as the first stage in the Suspension Secrets E9x M3 handling range, the Fast Road package combines carefully selected suspension and geometry upgrades to address some of the limitations of the factory chassis while retaining everyday road usability.
The E9x M3 is already an exceptionally capable road car, but limited factory geometry adjustment and compliant suspension bushes can allow unwanted movement when the car is driven harder. Handling Pack 1 targets these areas to create a more stable, responsive and confidence-inspiring chassis without turning the car into an uncompromising track build.
Why Choose Handling Pack 1?
Handling Pack 1 is aimed at owners who want to substantially improve their M3's handling while retaining the refinement required for regular road use.
Potential benefits include:
- Increased front-end grip
- Reduced understeer
- Improved steering precision
- Greater braking stability
- Increased geometry adjustment
- Reduced unwanted suspension movement
- More consistent rear axle behaviour
- Improved mid-corner grip
- Road-friendly performance
What's Included?
Suspension Secrets Handling Pack 1 includes:
- Suspension Secrets Adjustable Camber/Caster Plates
- Suspension Secrets Adjustable Front Drop Links
- Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Drop Links
- Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Toe Arms
- Suspension Secrets Solid Front Control Arm Bushes
Together, these components improve front geometry, anti-roll bar positioning, rear toe control and suspension precision.
Adjustable Camber & Caster Plates
The standard E9x M3 offers limited front suspension geometry adjustment.
Suspension Secrets Camber/Caster Plates provide greater control over the front alignment, allowing camber and caster to be configured around the intended use of the car.
Potential benefits include:
- Increased front-end grip
- Reduced understeer
- Sharper turn-in
- Improved steering feel
- Greater high-speed stability
- More precise front geometry
The additional adjustment is particularly useful on cars used for fast-road driving or occasional trackdays.
Adjustable Front Drop Links
Changing ride height can alter the operating position of the front anti-roll bar.
Suspension Secrets Adjustable Front Drop Links allow the anti-roll bar position to be corrected for the vehicle's suspension setup.
This can help:
- Reduce unwanted anti-roll bar preload
- Improve left-to-right handling consistency
- Maintain correct anti-roll bar operation
- Improve suspension predictability
They are also especially useful when corner weighting a coilover-equipped car.
Adjustable Rear Drop Links
The rear anti-roll bar can experience similar positioning and preload issues when ride height is changed.
Adjustable rear drop links allow the rear bar to be neutralised around the finished suspension setup.
Potential benefits include:
- More consistent rear suspension behaviour
- Reduced anti-roll bar preload
- Improved chassis balance
- Better corner-weighting setup
Adjustable Rear Toe Arms
Rear toe has a significant influence on stability, traction and the overall behaviour of the rear axle.
The factory suspension uses compliant bushes which can allow the toe angle to change dynamically under load.
Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Toe Arms provide greater adjustment and help reduce this unwanted movement.
Potential benefits include:
- Increased cornering stability
- Better rear axle control
- Improved traction
- More consistent geometry
- Greater rear toe adjustment
Solid Front Control Arm Bushes
The factory front control arm bushes use compliant rubber designed partly around comfort.
Under hard braking and cornering, these bushes can flex and allow the front geometry to move.
Suspension Secrets Solid Front Control Arm Bushes reduce this unwanted deflection, helping provide:
- More accurate steering
- Improved braking stability
- Better turn-in response
- Reduced unwanted toe change
- Greater front-end confidence
Improved Front-End Grip
Additional geometry control allows the front tyres to work more effectively during harder cornering.
Correctly configured front camber and caster can help maintain a better tyre contact patch, particularly as lateral load increases.
This can contribute to:
- Increased cornering grip
- Reduced understeer
- Sharper steering response
- Better tyre utilisation
Improved Mid-Corner Stability
Factory suspension compliance can allow wheel alignment to change while the car is heavily loaded through a corner.
Handling Pack 1 reduces key areas of this movement while providing additional geometry control.
The result can be a more settled and predictable chassis through longer, faster corners.
Improved Braking Stability
Heavy braking places significant forces through the front suspension.
Reducing front control arm bush deflection helps the wheels maintain more consistent geometry during braking.
This can make the car feel:
- More stable
- More predictable
- Better connected
- More confidence-inspiring under hard braking
Greater Geometry Adjustment
One of the main advantages of Handling Pack 1 is the increased ability to configure the chassis around the driver's requirements.
The package provides additional control over:
- Front camber
- Front caster
- Rear toe
- Front anti-roll bar positioning
- Rear anti-roll bar positioning
This gives a geometry specialist far more flexibility than the standard suspension arrangement.
Road-Friendly Performance
Handling Pack 1 is specifically designed as the road-focused package within the Suspension Secrets range.
The components have been selected to increase suspension precision and cornering performance without turning the M3 into a dedicated track car.
Suspension Secrets states that this package is designed to achieve these improvements without increasing Noise, Vibration and Harshness.
For RCC, we would describe it as a performance-focused setup intended to retain excellent road usability and refinement.
Ideal for Fast-Road Builds
Handling Pack 1 is particularly well suited to:
- Daily-driven E9x M3s
- Fast-road builds
- Weekend performance cars
- Occasional trackday cars
- Cars running performance tyres
- Owners wanting improved geometry without a full track conversion
Works Well With Lowering Springs or Coilovers
Lowering springs and coilovers are not included with the RCC Handling Pack.
However, Handling Pack 1 works particularly well alongside a suitable suspension setup.
It can complement:
- Performance lowering springs
- Road-focused coilovers
- Uprated dampers
- Height-adjustable suspension
The geometry components within the pack allow the chassis to be configured more effectively around changes in ride height.
Works Well With Other Performance Upgrades
Handling Pack 1 can also complement:
- Performance tyres
- Uprated brakes
- Limited slip differential upgrades
- Anti-roll bars
- Additional chassis components
A properly configured suspension and geometry setup provides a strong foundation for a wider performance build.
Professional Installation Recommended
Because the package includes several suspension and geometry components, professional installation is strongly recommended.
After fitting, the car should receive:
- Full suspension inspection
- Anti-roll bar setup
- Camber adjustment
- Caster adjustment
- Rear toe adjustment
- Full wheel alignment
Performance Geometry Setup
A professional geometry setup is an important part of getting the full benefit from Handling Pack 1.
The final settings should be tailored around:
- Road use
- Tyre specification
- Ride height
- Suspension setup
- Driving style
- Occasional track use
