The MQB platform is just getting started. ๐Ÿคซ

From factory, the MQB chassis has no front camber adjustment. When the car is driven hard, the lack of negative camber can reduce the tyreโ€™s effective contact patch through corners, contributing to understeer, reducing front-end grip and increasing tyre wear.

Our Suspension Secrets MQB Adjustable Camber Plates were developed to address exactly these issues. ๐Ÿ”ง

Featuring two dedicated positions, the setup can be tailored to how the car is being used:
โ–ช๏ธ โ€˜Fast Roadโ€™ for increased negative camber (up to -1.8 degrees; ride height dependent) combined with additional positive caster for improved front axle grip, steering feel, accuracy and reduced understeer.

โ–ช๏ธ โ€˜Trackโ€™ for even more negative camber (up to -2.4 degrees; ride height dependent), helping maintain tyre contact under higher cornering loads for greater grip and confidence when pushing harder on circuit.

Unlike conventional slotted camber plates, the two-position design also makes switching between road and track setups straightforward, without having to guess your previous settings.

Theyโ€™re compatible with aftermarket coilovers designed to retain the OEM top mount, including ร–hlins Road & Track and KW V3.

And this is only the beginning for MQB. Weโ€™ve got plenty more Suspension Secrets development coming for the platform. ๐Ÿ‘€

๐ŸŽฅ LATEST YOUTUBE EPISODE: 991 GT3 RS vs Spa with our Circuit Handling Pack๐Ÿ’ฅ

In a previous video, we equipped our 991 3RS with Suspension Secrets front camber plates and rear camber shims to dial in more track-oriented suspension settings.

Now itโ€™s time to complete our Circuit Handling Pack (bump-steer tie rod ends, spring cups and Eibach springs) and unlock another level of handling performance.

How will our handling package perform at the illustrious Spa-Francorchamps circuit? Watch below and find out ๐Ÿ‘‡

I finally feel like this car is dialed in to a really good spot! ๐ŸŽ๏ธ

Between the Yonristic VANTA GOLD EVO exhaust, ร–hlins Road & Track coilovers, and Suspension Secrets upgrades, everything is finally coming together exactly how I envisioned it. The sound, handling, responsiveness, and overall driving experience are on another level.

The perfect balance of performance and daily drivability.

Improving performance beyond the factory setup. ๐ŸŽ๏ธ

During a recent visit to Vulcan Alpha, we gave Jimmy's Broadbentโ€™s Ferrari 360 much-needed attention, replacing tired original parts with brand new Suspension Secrets upgrades designed to enhance handling precision and stability.

Factory suspension components must balance performance, comfort and refinement. However, worn rubber bushes and suspension mounting points can over time allow unwanted movement under braking, cornering and acceleration.

โš™๏ธ So why improve the original components?
By reducing unwanted compliance and improving suspension location, upgraded components can deliver:
๐Ÿ”น Greater geometry stability: Helping maintain more consistent camber and toe under load.
๐Ÿ”น Improved steering precision: Reducing unwanted deflection for a more direct and predictable response.
๐Ÿ”น More consistent tyre contact: Helping the suspension maintain its intended geometry during demanding driving.
๐Ÿ”น Increased driver confidence: Delivering more predictable chassis behaviour when pushing the car harder.

It's not simply about making suspension components stiffer. It's about controlling movement where it matters and allowing the suspension geometry to remain consistent and work as intended.

The smallest changes can make a significant difference to how a car feels and responds. ๐Ÿ

The GT4 is capable of more. ๐Ÿ

From factory, the GT4 uses relatively soft spring rates, resulting in noticeable body roll through high-speed corners and dive under heavy braking. Designed to work perfectly with the OEM dampers and PASM, with spring rates suitable for both fast road and track use.

We developed our Uprated Spring Package with Eibach to give the chassis greater support when it matters, reducing body roll and brake dive while improving stability, turn-in and driver confidence.

Another BMW platform getting the Suspension Secrets treatment. ๐Ÿ”ง

This F-Series BMW xDrive was in the workshop as part of the development of our front solid control arm bushes.

The factory rubber bushes introduce compliance into the front suspension. Replacing them with our solid solution reduces unwanted movement within the control arm mounting, creating a more direct connection between the suspension and chassis.

The result is a more precise front end, improved steering response and greater consistency in the suspension geometry under load particularly when the car is being driven harder.

We offer a selection of Suspension Secrets handling upgrades for non-M BMW models, bringing our geometry-focused approach to even more of the BMW platform.

Our Handling Pack 3 (Track) is the ultimate suspension upgrade package for the BMW F80 M3 and F82 M4, developed for drivers looking to push the chassis harder on circuit.

Engineered to perform on track, but looking THIS good is a pretty nice bonus. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

With increased adjustability and greater control over suspension geometry, the package is designed to maximise tyre performance, sharpen response and give you the confidence to push harder and more consistently on track.

No guesswork. No mismatched upgrades. A complete track-focused package engineered to work together.

Protect your Porsche before the damage is done. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Front strut tower failure is a known issue on hard-driven Porsche 991 GT cars, particularly those seeing regular track use.

From the workshop to the pit lane at Spa. ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช We fitted our Performance Strut Tower Protection Package to our 991.1 GT3 RS right there in the pit lane at Spa-Francorchamps, ready to put it to work on track.

Front strut tower failure is a known issue on hard-driven Porsche 991 GT cars, particularly those seeing regular track use. When the chassis is lowered, reduced bump travel can cause the OEM front dampers to bottom out under heavy compression and kerb strikes, transferring significant loads directly into the top mount and strut tower.

Our Performance Strut Tower Protection Package tackles the problem at its source.

Combining our Front Camber Caster Plate Top Mounts with uprated Spring Cups, the package maintains sufficient damper bump travel at a lower ride height, helping prevent strut tower damage while also unlocking increased camber and caster adjustment, improved front-end grip and reduced understeer.

Protection and performance in one package. โœ…

"THE DONINGTON SHOT!" ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

Unexpected weather, unexpected twists and a proper British track day! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Not quite the conditions we'd hoped for, but the perfect opportunity to put our Porsche 991 GT3 RS and its Circuit Handling Pack to the test when grip, stability and driver confidence matter most. ๐ŸŽ๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

Yesterday saw us take on Donington Park with Chris Dymond, with wet, windy and constantly changing conditions keeping everyone on their toes. From managing unpredictable grip levels to adapting driving techniques, there's plenty to learn when the weather has other plans. ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ

Stay tuned as we share tips, tricks and trackside insights on how to get the most out of your car in challenging wet conditions.
