F80 M3 Drag Racing Rear Brake Setup
Hey,
I have a fairly heavily modified F80. I am getting more into drag and roll racing and looking at going from 18" with standard rear brake setup, to a 17" with smaller rotors and calipers, in order to get a higher sidewall. Are there any off the shelf BMW brakes that will fit the F80 M3, or is it a custom setup like this, the only option? My current setup runs 325 wide Mickey Thompson Street R's and it spins a lot in 3rd when full boost kicks in. Cheers. |

The pics in the link is the oem 370mm disc with the diameter decreased...
U can order custom discs 350mm from paragonbrakes and use them with 4pot calipers from m2c or ccb kit, i can provide custom brackets for that option. Last edited by Track/S; 09-26-2023 at 07:35 AM.. |

Can you make other model rear caliper brackets? I'm trying to get 380x28 to fit in place of 398x28.

Let me throw in my experience with VS, i ordered their drag shocks in nov, they still haven’t came in. Reached out multiple times to them on IG and email, back in December they said the part was delayed… now they are not responding at all. Just a fair warning they’re being shady to me currently.

May want aftermarket ones if youre paranoid or want to balance the wheels. been running them since october. I got ate pads and theyre a little noise.

The VS rear dampers probably have lower low-speed compression damping than stock dampers so weight transfers more quickly to the rear wheels when the car is launched. Do you know if the VS are fixed or adjustable (1-way or 2-way or 3-way)? I’d bet any high-end adjustable damper could easily be adjusted to provide the right amount of reduced rear compression damping and reduced front rebound damping, as well as optimized front and rear spring rates, to get the best rear weight transfer to maximize the grip of the rear tires. Lol…squat load, any load, is reacted by the rear springs and, ultimately, the rear tires

The problem with most double adjustable coils for our cars is they lower it too much. I’ve talked to basically everyone and you either need to drop $5000 or wait to see if Broadway comes out with there drag coils they were supposed to release by now. I never did get feal to reply to me about some 442 but I think they were still like 4K or so |
