10 Upgrades to Help Improve Auto Performance

Nowadays vehicles are designed to operate at their fullest capacity for the best possible performance. But, if you still wish your car to perform better, here are ten relatively simple add-on parts that can help enhance the performance of your vehicle without making any permanent modifications.

1. High performance shocks/springs/coil-over springs
The springs and shocks are combined to slightly lower your car’s ride height and are synced to work together. The tires will stay in contact with the road on bumps and at higher speeds.

2. Wider wheels
If you wish to improve handling of your vehicle, consider using wider wheels and tires. Wider wheels also help in good braking and turn-in precision.

3. Adjustable top strut mounts, chassis braces
Adding adjustable top strut mounts or camber plates is the best possible way to fine tune alignment.

4. Larger anti-roll bars
Larger anti-roll bars help your vehicle to stay level with the road, optimizing the tire contact patch.

5. Adjustable top strut mounts, chassis braces
Adjustable top strut mounts along with wider wheels and low springs help fine tune the vehicle’s alignment.

6. Stiffer motor mounts
Stiffer motor mounts is the best way to get better engine response and handling precision.

7. Larger diameter catalyst back exhaust
For high speed engine operation, experts suggest using larger diameter catalyst back exhaust.

8. Performance seats
For greater body support and better steering and pedal control, consider including performance seats in your vehicle. Experts say racing style seats are much comfortable than normal seats if they support the driver in the right places.

9. Stainless-Steel Braided Brake Lines
A stainless steel braided brake line is stronger than a rubber brake line. Which means more of the pressure you apply on the pedal is transferred to the brake caliper than with normal runner brake line.

10. High temperature brake pads
Installing high temperature brake pads help in faster deceleration and fade less during heavy brake use.
