Experience improved response and handling with our Suspension Secrets BMW 1M Solid Suspension Bushes.
Our solid suspension bushes offer the following benefits:
- Improved feedback
- Reduced understeer
- Removal of unwanted toe-change under heavy braking and during hard cornering
- More responsive chassis
- Increased chassis stability
Our solid BMW suspension bushes replace the existing rubber OEM bushes. Suspension Secrets solid suspension bushes are CNC-machined from solid billet 6082 T6 aluminium.
Using solid joints prevents any unwanted flex compared to the soft OEM bushes and they are a great upgrade for making your BMW more engaging and fun to drive.
Further Reading
As standard, the OEM rubber bushes used by BMW are quite soft. They are built for refinement, flexibility and durability. Rubber bushes are quiet and are ideal for a car that is designed to be used frequently.
Unfortunately when used in a performance application, rubber bushes have quite a few downsides. When braking hard, the OE rubber bushes flex. They flex so much that the wheel assembly moves rearwards as the car brakes. This causes unwanted toe geometry change which causes the car to feel very nervous and vague when braking.
The flex in rubber bushes also causes understeer and the steering wheel to feel very inaccurate during cornering.
Toe
Toe is the angle between each wheel with relation to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The animation below illustrates to toe-in, toe-out and zero toe.
Zero toe does not improve handling or feedback, nor does it create slip angle - all of which are desirable in performance driving - and as a result either toe-in or toe-out are more commonly chosen depending on use.

Installation was straightforward. My car is a AMGGTC Track you only I was getting outside where on driver side front I leave for the track this Thursday for three days of DE driving I’ll let you know how it goes.
I came across Suspension Secrets by chance on youtube, and decided to check them out. their offering is very structured and website contains a lot of cool information about racing and suspension in particular. Matt is extremely knowledgeable on the subject, and quality of the product is superb. I ended up buying the Track Package for 992 GT3, which transformed the car. They also gave me full specs on how to set everything up. Cold not be happier, I'm your customer for life now!
Worth the purchase price and time from the UK, well built hardware that looks like jewelry for the car.
