How to decide if the Fanatec Brake Performance Kit and Damper Kit are necessary for your V3 Pedals 

For the price of the V3's, the brake kit inserts should be included.

short, sweet, concise. Seriously brilliant video

Thanks Danny for sharing your thoughts and experience with this product!

I just got a 8020 rig new and with that the V3 pedals and performance kit. I really like the brake with red/green 13mm. Thinking about getting the damper kit for the throttle pedal. Great vid!

Great video and look at these kits. I will be ordering what I need with more confidence now. Thanks

Always interesting to watch your videos! Keep up the good work👍

I built an electronic equivalent of the damper for my G29 pedals about a year ago. Tuneable and adjustable - small amount for the brake; x4 for the accelerator

Great video, since the damper comes with the v3 inverted pedals i was on the fence of mounting it or not once it comes in. Now i will surely give it a proper go on the throttle as i mainly race gt3 but i do like a bit of drifting and rally on the side

Love your content. Your voice is great on camera too

I bought my V3 together with the BPK and after some driving I installed the BPK ... the red and green, not too stiff. It works better for me than the stock foams, a short moving way with a defined good pressure point. For me very good pedals, I recommend the black spring in the throttle and in the the clutch also. I tested no damper now.

The brake performance kit is a must buy. I currently run 3 greens (cut the 3rd green down to the size of the foam bushing). Fun tip, if you have an 8020/aluminum extrusion rig, save yourself some money on inverted pedals and just flip them yourself. Buy a few pieces of profile, some corner brackets and just mount them upside down. Swapping the clutch and gas is very easy to do without much though and the wires are plug-and-play.

My v3 would be in the bin without both dampers .... Had a few pedal sets lots of mods. I'm installing second BPK now. I'm cutting this one 😅. If I had a pc id go Husky's but I'm stuck with these. Great video good opinion.

I did order the BPK after using the V3's for 2-3 weeks. The different combination of stiffness can be daunting, but it gives a lot of flexibility. Was definitely worthwhile in the end!

When I bought my Fanatec gear (V3 Pedals (With BPK), Clubsport V2, and Formula V2), I decided against the Damper kit as most reviewers seemed to suggest it wouldn't be worth it, especially compared to the BPK, but after having many issues with UPS involving taxes, stolen items, and many more issues, Fanatec gave me a coupon to cover some of the issues, so I might actually get this damper kit with it for pretty much nothing :') Thanks for the video :D

I'm saving for these pedals. I race 100% oval tracks both dirt and asphalt. I really expect these to be a massive improvement over my current g27 pedals

Great explanation, thanks. A question I can't find an answer to is the D pedal plates. What is their purpose?

@Danny Lee, Is there an easy way to swap the clutch and break on V3 pedals, I see there are several that have bought this pedal kit, but needs to swap when using Playseat F1 because of its middle rod mount. Perhaps you could do a video on how to do it?

Hi there man, i have subsribed to you as you don't draw things out, and just get straight to the 'honest' point! I appreciate that, as i don't want half an hour of waffling going on, unless it is required!? ... Thanks for the quick info, and on the mark. 👍 Drew (UK)

Does the damper kit on the brake pedal make much of a difference? If so how does it feel on the brake with and without the bpk?

Have you tried the damper on the brake? Any idea if worth it or the BPK should be enough?

$299 for the Clubsport + damper + brake performance kit right now on Fanatec

I don't know which one to buy between: - Fanatec V3 inverted (with Brake Performance Kit and Throttle Damper) - Heusinkveld Ultimate+

What should I have my damper at if I have the two reds and play f1 a lot

Would it be worth putting a damper kit on the brake as well instead of the BPK?

Just picked these up and installed. I can’t seem to get the damper to turn so I can loosen it a bit….

How does the Fanatec CSP V3's with the brake performance kit stand up to pedals like the Sim-Jack Pro, Sim-Alien pedals or the Girrosim XR Pro pedals? At $420, they are right in the middle of the Alien and Girro's prices, but I want to know if its worth it to go with any of the other pedals for a little more or less (in the case of the Sim-Jacks). I will be coming from a set of Fanatec CSL-Elite LC V1 pedals. While I like some features of the CSL-ELITE pedals, not being able to adjust the brake to sit proud of the throttle when fully applied, is dissappointing. The CSP V3's can do this to some degree, with the BPK and some modifications. But the Jacks, Girros and, Aliens can do this right out of the box via minor adjustments. Plus the 3 aftermarket pedalsets allow me to place the pedals exactly where I want. The Fanatec CSLE'S pedals can get me close but the CSP's are kind of a goofy solution to pedal position. Software wise, DiView is a manual version of what Fanatec offers, so its a wash in my book. Plus my CSL-E's work better on DiView... So it will be second nature for me to set them up. So how does the CSP V3's compare to these other pedals?

Any particular reason your pedal weights motors are upside down?

wish the csl’s could have a damper

im using half pu only from the bpk no reds or greens, so it isnt for everyone

Hi Danny. You may have answered this but what insert did you use from the kit? I have a kit on the way so want to know where to start. Cheers.

do you still need to adjust the load cell once you put the perfomance kit in??

Anyone know how to get the accelerator and brake vibration for traction abs in ACC

Sooo I can get these with both addons for $530 or the heusinkveld sprints for $605 😬

Just curious.. which bpk combo do you recommend?

What's the best set up under $500

I upgraded from the elites with LC ( my elite LC pedal broke after three years of abuse ) to the V3’s and also bought the BPK as per you tube reviewers advising to do so. The stock set up is awful and I was 3/4 of a second a lap slower in GT3 cars at formula tracks. Not only that they feel horrible and are squidgy and mooshy. The BPK is more immersive and made me slightly faster than the elite plus load cells.

Damper kit is not worth it. Or mine is broken.. on accelerator any more than a setting of 2 and it’s ridiculous to press.

I bought Bpk. Used and try with almost all the combinations,but I totally lost pedal travel,and immediately became too stiff to use. Brake became on/off erasing any chance of trail braking . I removed,and I found again the right feeling. I usually drive with only socks,shoes are for real racing in my opinion (I prefer without them,even if I own kart shoes) I think it’s a lot personal,and it’s incorrect to say it should be installed by default. My opinion.

All i have to say is DONT BUY IT, i tried all green and all red and it’s so stiff even after the pedals have been recalibrated that you can’t even press the brake to 100 if u tried and the car doesn’t slow down in the game. The piston on the shaft has plenty adjustment to make it way more stiff if you want. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND BUY THE KIT. Fanatec really does have a reason why they don’t include this kit with the pedals lol i like a stiff brake pedal to, don’t get me wrong, but those stiffer spacers are for some crazy ass applications that 75% of ppl i don’t think necessarily need

These pedals are not as good as csl elite load cells.......I use the bpk and the creaking is horrendous,and it makes no difference how much grease i use...... there is also a scraping where the pivot enters into the section where the elastomers are.....my v3 are now going to be packed away and putting my elites back.......the seperate rubber options is a bad idea also as they quickly soften requiring constant recalibrating... i,m currently trying to think of a totally different material to use for dampers, i,m certainly going to try without the foam piece,as this squashes in a matter of minutes......these pedals are all show,,, simplicity is the key without having to strip everything down each time a small change is needed.......MY ADVICE IS. “GET THE ELITE LOADCELL
