Suspension Secrets Handling Pack 2 (Clubsport) – BMW F20 M135i / M140i
Transform your BMW F20 M135i or M140i into a highly capable clubsport-style build with Suspension Secrets Handling Pack 2.
This package is designed for drivers who want significantly improved track performance while keeping the car usable on the road for weekend drives and journeys to and from the circuit.
The standard F20 chassis has limited geometry adjustment and uses a large number of compliant rubber bushes throughout the suspension. Under harder driving, this can lead to unwanted geometry changes, reduced mid-corner grip and instability under heavy braking.
Handling Pack 2 addresses these limitations with adjustable coilovers, additional geometry adjustment and selected solid suspension bushes to create a much more precise and confidence-inspiring chassis.
Why Choose Handling Pack 2?
Handling Pack 2 is aimed at drivers building a dual-purpose road and track car.
Compared with a more road-focused suspension package, it adds greater chassis stiffness and geometry control while still retaining enough usability for regular road driving.
Key benefits include:
- Significantly increased geometry adjustment
- Improved mid-corner grip
- Greater stability under heavy braking
- Sharper turn-in
- Reduced suspension deflection
- More precise front and rear axle behaviour
- Adjustable damping
- Improved anti-roll bar setup
- Suitable for road and track use
- Ideal for clubsport-style builds
What's Included?
Handling Pack 2 includes:
- Suspension Secrets Camber 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
- Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Upper Camber Arms
- Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Upper Third Link Arms
- Suspension Secrets Solid Rear Control Arm Bushes
Together, these upgrades address damping, ride height, alignment adjustment and unwanted suspension compliance.
Suspension Secrets Camber Plates
The standard F20 provides limited front camber adjustment, making it difficult to achieve a more track-focused front geometry.
Suspension Secrets Camber Plates provide additional adjustment to help optimise front tyre contact during cornering.
Potential benefits include:
- Improved front-end grip
- Sharper turn-in
- Reduced outside-edge tyre wear on track
- Better steering response
- More flexible geometry setup
Adjustable Front & Rear Drop Links
Lowering the vehicle changes the operating position of the anti-roll bars.
Adjustable drop links allow the anti-roll bar system to be correctly configured around the new ride height.
This helps reduce unwanted preload and can improve:
- Chassis balance
- Suspension consistency
- Anti-roll bar operation
- Left-to-right symmetry
Adjustable Rear Toe Arms
Rear toe has a major influence on stability and cornering behaviour.
The adjustable rear toe arms allow the alignment to be tailored more precisely than with the standard components.
This can help optimise:
- High-speed stability
- Corner entry
- Mid-corner behaviour
- Traction
- Tyre wear
Solid Front Control Arm Bushes
The factory front control arm bushes are designed with road comfort in mind and can flex significantly under heavy loads.
The solid front control arm bushes reduce this movement, helping maintain more consistent front suspension geometry.
Potential benefits include:
- Improved braking stability
- More accurate steering
- Reduced toe deflection
- Better turn-in response
- Improved front-end confidence
Adjustable Rear Upper Camber Arms
The adjustable rear upper camber arms provide additional control over rear wheel camber.
This becomes particularly important for lowered and track-driven cars, where the optimum settings can differ significantly from the factory alignment.
Greater camber adjustment allows the rear tyre contact patch to be better optimised for performance driving.
Adjustable Rear Upper Third Links
The adjustable rear upper third links provide additional control over rear suspension kinematics.
Combined with the toe and camber arms, they allow a much broader range of rear geometry setup than the standard F20 suspension.
This helps create a more stable and predictable rear axle under high loads.
Solid Rear Control Arm Bushes
The factory rear suspension also uses compliant rubber bushes that can deflect during aggressive driving.
Replacing key bushes with solid components helps reduce unwanted movement and maintain more consistent wheel alignment.
This can contribute to:
- Improved mid-corner grip
- Better rear stability
- More predictable traction
- Improved braking confidence
Increased Geometry Adjustment
One of the main limitations of the standard M135i/M140i chassis is the lack of factory alignment adjustment.
Handling Pack 2 significantly expands the available setup range through:
- Front camber adjustment
- Rear camber adjustment
- Rear toe adjustment
- Rear suspension link adjustment
- Correct anti-roll bar positioning
This makes it possible to run a significantly more track-oriented geometry setup.
Improved Mid-Corner Grip
Suspension deflection can allow the wheel alignment to move away from its intended settings when the chassis is heavily loaded.
By replacing selected rubber bushes and introducing adjustable suspension arms, Handling Pack 2 helps keep the tyres more consistently positioned during cornering.
This can result in improved grip and greater confidence through longer, higher-load corners.
Improved Braking Stability
Heavy braking places significant load through the front and rear suspension.
Reducing unwanted bush movement helps maintain more stable geometry and can reduce the nervous or inconsistent behaviour that can occur when braking hard.
Sharper Turn-In
The combination of camber adjustment, solid front bushes and performance dampers can create a much more responsive front axle.
This can provide:
- Faster steering response
- More precise turn-in
- Better front-end confidence
- Improved feedback
Clubsport Road & Track Balance
Handling Pack 2 is specifically designed for cars that need to perform well on circuit without becoming completely dedicated track cars.
It is ideal for:
- Weekend road cars
- Regular trackday cars
- Nürburgring-style builds
- Clubsport builds
- High-performance road and track setups
NVH Considerations
Unlike the more road-focused Handling Pack 1, this package includes solid suspension bushes.
As a result, some increase in noise, vibration and harshness should be expected compared with the standard suspension.
The package is still intended to remain road usable, but chassis precision and track performance are given greater priority than factory refinement.
Works Well With Supporting Upgrades
Handling Pack 2 is particularly effective alongside:
- Performance tyres
- Uprated brakes
- Limited slip differential
- Additional chassis bracing
- Cooling upgrades
- Track-focused alignment
These supporting modifications can help create a balanced dual-purpose road and track car.
Professional Installation Required
Due to the number of adjustable suspension components included, professional installation is strongly recommended.
The car should be set up by a workshop familiar with performance BMW suspension and geometry.
Performance Geometry Setup Essential
A full geometry setup is essential after installation.
The final settings should be chosen around:
- Road versus track use
- Tyre specification
- Ride height
- Damper setup
- Driver preference
- Desired chassis balance
