This kit should have been part of the V3 package. Seated in the F1 position stomping on that pedal gives the whole session an over the top race feeling. Relying on pressure rather than distance is different and very welcomed. What it does though, it does beautifully. It is a different type of immersion and not something I will likely experience often with my own car. The Brake Perfomance Kit removes all that damper and feeling and just makes it hard. I like the feeling of the hydraulic brake and want some travel. When at the track for lapping days I’ll be in a road car not a full-fledged race car. I personally want the day to day car feeling. Some of us don’t care what a road car feels like we want to feel like we are racing a F1 car. We are accustomed to what a ROAD car feels like. I don’t think many of us drive a race car to and from work. Will you like that brake pedal feel? Depends. Muscle memory will help when deciding how much brake to add rather than how far should I push the brake. You are no longer relying on the distance but rather the pressure. That feeling is completely gone when going with the stiffer Elastomer springs. You push on the brake then feel the hydraulics kick in and the brake will get heavier and heavier to push as the hydraulics squeeze the pads together (that feeling is what the damper kit will do btw). With a typical road car, you have a long travel. If you haven’t been a in a race car, the brake pedal doesn’t move much as at all. It’s like the pedal no longer moves and you are pushing hard to squeeze the brakes. What does the Fanatec Brake Perfomance Kit do? It makes it so the travel in the brake pedal is VERY limited and makes the pedal feel much harder. I can easily sell one if ever I no longer want it. Shipping was a killer, so I decided to get 2 damper kits and the performance kit at once rather than one at a time. This is what is included in the kit as per Fanatec’s website:ġx Polyurethane spring (PU foam) Ø13,5 x 15 mmġx Lithium grease bottle (only for Elastomer spring) Everyone recommended the BPK so I had to try it. Some people found the dampers useless others loved them. Why both? Because I could not find the answers I wanted when researching them. I ordered the Fanatec Brake Perfomance Kit along with the Fanatec Damper Kit. Elastomer springs, I know nothing about Elastomer but damn do I love it!
