BEST MODIFICATIONS TO IMPROVE HANDLING ON YOUR BMW M240i [WAVETRAC LSD, MOTON, H&R]

Introduction

Upgrading the driving dynamics of your vehicle is a thrilling journey for any car enthusiast. An example: one of our customers who had already equipped their BMW car with the Bilstein B12 suspension kit wanted to elevate their driving experience even further. Their goal was to improve traction, handling, and their vehicles' overall performance. To achieve this, we installed a suite of upgrades: the Wavetrac Limited Slip Differential, M4 Lower Control Arm Kit, Moton Control Arm Bearings, and H&R Anti-Roll Bars.

H&R M240i Anti-Roll Bars: Enhanced Stability and Traction

The addition of H&R anti-roll bars was a significant upgrade aimed at improving the car's handling characteristics. These bars are considerably thicker than the factory-installed versions, resulting in a much higher spring rate. Here's how it makes a difference:

When the car corners, the stiffer anti-roll bars resist body roll more effectively. This resistance keeps the tyres pressed firmly against the tarmac, enhancing traction and stability. The result is a noticeable improvement in cornering precision and reduced body roll.

For optimal performance, we installed the H&R anti-roll bars on both the front and rear axles. This setup perfectly complements the Bilstein B12 suspension kit, creating a harmonious balance between stability and agility. The upgrade delivers a more connected and confident driving experience, especially in dynamic driving scenarios.

 

Wavetrac Limited Slip Differential: Maximized Traction and Control

The Wavetrac Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is a game-changer for anyone seeking improved traction and power delivery. The installation process involved careful modification of the factory ring gear, which is friction-welded to the original differential. Here's what we did:

• Separation and Modification: We separated the ring gear from the original differential, drilled holes into it, and secured it to the Wavetrac differential using bolts.

• Precision Installation: The differential was fitted inside the axle, and we adjusted the backlash to specifications.

Once installed, the Wavetrac LSD transforms the driving experience by delivering power to the wheels more effectively, especially during high-load situations such as cornering or accelerating on uneven surfaces. This upgrade enhances both traction and stability, giving the driver more confidence behind the wheel.

 

M4 Lower Control Arms and Moton Control Arm Bearings: Precision and Predictability

Upgrading the control arms to the M4 Lower Control Arm Kit brought a new level of precision to the vehicle's front axle dynamics. Here's how:

• Increased Negative Camber: The M4 control arms feature slightly different dimensions compared to the factory setup. This adjustment results in approximately -1 degree of additional negative camber, significantly improving front axle grip.

• Wider Front Track: The new arms increase the track width, enhancing the car's stability and cornering capability.

To complement the control arms, we installed Moton Control Arm Bearings. Unlike factory bushings, which allow for some movement during steering or braking, these bearings eliminate deflection entirely. The benefits include:

• Consistent alignment under load.

• A more secure and predictable front end.

• Enhanced feedback and responsiveness during spirited driving.

 

Conclusion: A Symphony of Performance Upgrades

With the combination of the Bilstein B12 suspension kit, H&R anti-roll bars, Wavetrac LSD, and the M4 Lower Control Arm Kit with Moton bearings, the BMW vehicle is now a benchmark for precise handling and exceptional traction. Each component plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall driving experience, making the car more agile, stable, and enjoyable to drive.

These upgrades not only improve performance but also inspire confidence, allowing the driver to push the limits with ease. Whether carving through winding roads or tackling the racetrack, this car is now ready to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.
