Suspension Secrets Handling Pack 3 (Track) - BMW F22 M235i/M240i

Suspension Secrets Handling Pack 3 (Track) – BMW F22 M235i / M240i

Transform your BMW F22 M235i or M240i into a far more focused track car with Suspension Secrets Handling Pack 3.

This package is designed for serious circuit use and cars running semi-slick trackday tyres, where the limitations of the standard suspension become much more apparent.

The factory F22 chassis uses a number of compliant rubber bushes and offers relatively limited geometry adjustment. Under sustained track loads, this can allow unwanted suspension movement and geometry changes that reduce grip, stability and consistency.

Handling Pack 3 replaces or upgrades these key areas with adjustable arms, solid bushes, rose-jointed components and uprated anti-roll bars to create a much more precise and track-focused chassis.

Why Choose Handling Pack 3?

Handling Pack 3 is designed for drivers prioritising maximum on-track performance over factory levels of comfort and refinement.

Potential benefits include:

• Increased geometry adjustment
• Improved mid-corner grip
• Greater braking stability
• Sharper turn-in
• Reduced unwanted suspension movement
• More precise rear axle behaviour
• Improved chassis response
• Uprated anti-roll bar control
• Better use of semi-slick tyres
• Track-focused handling balance

What's Included?

Handling Pack 3 includes:

• Suspension Secrets Adjustable Front Drop Links
• Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Drop Links
• Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Toe Arms
• Rear Toe Lockout Kit
• Suspension Secrets Off-Centre Caster Control Arm Bushes
• H&R Anti-Roll Bars
• Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Camber Arms
• Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Upper Third Link Arms
• Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Traction Arms
• Suspension Secrets Solid Rear Control Arm Bushes

Together, these components address geometry adjustment, suspension compliance, anti-roll bar control and rear axle precision.

Adjustable Front & Rear Drop Links

Lowering the vehicle changes the operating position of the anti-roll bars and can introduce unwanted preload.

Adjustable drop links allow the anti-roll bar system to be correctly set around the vehicle's ride height and suspension configuration.

Potential benefits include:

• Reduced unwanted anti-roll bar preload
• More consistent suspension behaviour
• Improved left-to-right balance
• Better anti-roll bar operation

Adjustable Rear Toe Arms

Rear toe plays a major role in stability, traction and cornering behaviour.

The adjustable rear toe arms provide greater control over rear alignment than the factory components and reduce the deflection associated with compliant rubber bushes.

Potential benefits include:

• Improved rear stability
• More consistent traction
• Better geometry control
• Increased confidence under acceleration
• More accurate rear alignment

Rear Toe Lockout Kit

The included rear toe lockout kit removes reliance on the factory eccentric adjustment system.

This helps keep the selected toe setting more securely in position and allows the adjustable toe arms to provide the required alignment control.

Off-Centre Caster Control Arm Bushes

The Suspension Secrets off-centre caster bushes reduce unwanted front suspension compliance while also altering the front geometry.

Increasing positive caster can help improve:

• Steering feel
• Front-end stability
• Turn-in
• Dynamic camber gain
• Cornering grip

This is especially useful on cars running high-grip tyres.

H&R Anti-Roll Bars

H&R Anti-Roll Bars are included to provide additional control over body roll and chassis balance.

Compared with the standard bars, they can help:

• Reduce body roll
• Improve response during direction changes
• Increase chassis precision
• Improve cornering balance

Anti-roll bar setup should be considered as part of the complete suspension package.

Adjustable Rear Camber Arms

Rear camber becomes increasingly important as grip levels and cornering speeds increase.

The adjustable rear camber arms allow the rear geometry to be tailored around:

• Semi-slick tyres
• Ride height
• Track use
• Driver preference
• Desired handling balance

Correctly configured camber can help the tyre maintain a better contact patch through loaded corners.

Adjustable Rear Upper Third Links

The adjustable rear upper third links provide additional control over the rear suspension geometry.

They are particularly useful when running more aggressive rear camber settings, helping reduce unwanted binding and allowing the suspension to operate more freely.

Potential benefits include:

• Greater rear camber range
• Reduced joint and bearing binding
• Better rear axle consistency
• Improved track geometry capability

Adjustable Rear Traction Arms

The adjustable rear traction arms help control rear hub movement under acceleration, braking and cornering loads.

They reduce the compliance associated with the factory rubber-bushed arrangement and can improve:

• Rear axle response
• Straight-line stability
• Traction
• Corner-exit performance
• Geometry consistency

Solid Rear Control Arm Bushes

The factory rear control arm bushes can flex significantly under high cornering loads.

This movement can alter rear camber and toe dynamically.

The solid rear control arm bushes reduce this unwanted deflection and help maintain more consistent geometry.

Potential benefits include:

• Improved mid-corner grip
• Greater rear stability
• More precise handling
• Better feedback
• Improved braking confidence

Reduced Suspension Compliance

A major objective of Handling Pack 3 is to remove unwanted movement from the standard suspension.

With more of the chassis located through solid bushes and rose-jointed components, the wheels are better able to maintain the geometry chosen during alignment.

This creates a more direct and predictable relationship between:

• Tyres
• Suspension
• Chassis
• Driver inputs

Improved Mid-Corner Grip

Keeping the wheel alignment more consistent under load allows the tyres to work more effectively.

When correctly set up, this can provide:

• Greater sustained cornering grip
• More predictable balance
• Improved tyre contact
• Better stability at the limit

Improved Braking Stability

Heavy braking places substantial loads through the suspension.

Compliant factory bushes can deform and allow unwanted alignment changes.

Reducing this movement helps create a more stable and predictable platform under braking.

Designed for Semi-Slick Tyres

Handling Pack 3 is particularly well suited to cars running semi-slick trackday tyres.

Higher-grip tyres place significantly greater loads through the suspension, making geometry control and bush stiffness increasingly important.

This package provides the chassis support required to make better use of the additional tyre grip.

Track-Focused Package

Handling Pack 3 sits above the Fast Road and Clubsport packages in terms of focus.

It is particularly suited to:

• Dedicated trackday cars
• Serious circuit builds
• Semi-slick tyre setups
• Time-attack inspired builds
• High-grip performance cars

Works Best With Coilovers

Although coilovers are not included within the RCC Handling Pack, Handling Pack 3 is intended to work alongside a suitable performance coilover system.

A quality coilover setup adds control over:

• Ride height
• Damping
• Body control
• Chassis response

Combined with the geometry and bush upgrades in Handling Pack 3, this creates the foundation for a serious F22 track build.

NVH & Road Use

Because Handling Pack 3 replaces several compliant factory components with solid or rose-jointed alternatives, increased noise, vibration and harshness should be expected.

Compared with Handling Pack 1 and Handling Pack 2, road refinement is given much lower priority.

This package is intended primarily for track-focused vehicles where precision and consistency matter more than factory comfort levels.

Professional Installation Required

Handling Pack 3 contains multiple adjustable suspension components and should be installed by an experienced performance workshop.

After fitting, the car should receive:

• Full suspension inspection
• Anti-roll bar setup
• Rear toe adjustment
• Rear camber adjustment
• Traction arm setup
• Full wheel alignment
• Fastener checks

Track Geometry Setup Essential

A full performance geometry setup is essential after installation.

The final settings should be tailored around:

• Tyre choice
• Ride height
• Suspension specification
• Track use
• Driver preference
• Desired chassis balance

For serious circuit use, setup by a specialist familiar with BMW F22 geometry is strongly recommended.
