Brake dive?

PhilT3 · 01-25-2015, 05:53 PM

Besides a sleeve-over or coil-over set-up, how else can brake dive be reduced / eliminated in this boat of an M5?

Yes, tear out the interior, replace the frame and sub-frame with CF, replace the drive train with CF and get rid of all electronic motors and doohickeys... Or buy a Porsche

Not sure there is a suspension on the planet that would help with that, but still make it useable as a daily driver.

S3 all settings there is not that much brake dive...
M5 keeps up with Ferrari 458 no problems at all with extremely aggressive in-traffic / highway driving - far from a boat, imo.

Haha...wise guy.

I am currently shopping for a 911 GTS or GT3 possibly...or a Z06 second model year.

But I'd like to have a bit less nose dive under aggressive braking scenarios in my daily driver.

Any other wisdom you'd like to bestow?

I can tell you that on my KW V3 setup brake dive is reduced. Basically it boils down to stiffer springs...
