Tweaking your car’s performance is no easy task.

With the thousands of options available, it’s very easy to be overwhelmed with the possibilities. Honda for example: manufacturers state that there are more Honda performance parts and after-market auto parts available than there are cars in an entire state.

Now, how do you know where to start?

A good place to start is to group what are the changes you can do to your car. Performance parts can be grouped according to the parts in which you want to change: these can be the Brakes, Engine, Suspensions, and Transmission.

Brakes

A car’s brake system has a lot to do to your car’s overall performance. It’s because the measure of a car’s performance isn’t just about speed; performance is about controlling speed to your benefit. A good braking system is measured by the brake’s ability to respond quickly to generate friction to the rotors, the brake pads’ operating temperature range, and their ability to resist fade. The brake pads’ ability to generate friction on the rotors enables you to slow the vehicle quickly. Wide operating temperature range is important so that your brakes are still effective when cold and still able to resist fade when it’s hot. The ability to resist fade is important, since when brakes fades, brakes lose their ability to slow the vehicle effectively. Choosing brakes with higher values on these attributes will help you gain performance.
