2016–2021 BMW M2 Suspension & Handling FAQ's

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What coilover spring rates work for a dual‑purpose M2?

Balanced street/track setups often land near 8–10 kg/mm front and rear with digressive damping. More front camber (‑2.0°+) aids turn‑in on 200‑TW tires.

Do sway bars reduce understeer without hurting ride?

A slightly stiffer rear bar helps rotation; tune balance with alignment. Avoid overly stiff front bars that can reduce compliance on bumpy roads.

Are camber plates necessary on the F87?

Yes if you track the car—front camber isn’t adjustable from factory. Plates allow proper camber to protect shoulders and increase grip.
