A performance car part is any auto part or accessory that is designed to boost a vehicle’s performance. Usually, performance parts are purchased and added to the vehicle after it was bought from the dealer; hence, performance parts may fall under aftermarket parts. However, performance parts can also be original car and truck parts made by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Every performance part that came with your vehicle when you purchased it is an OEM performance car part.

Performance Car Parts that Improve Your Car’s Performance

Ball Bearings

These parts reduce friction in your car’s axles and transmission; hence, using them can boost your car’s speed and performance.

Oil Filled Shock Absorbers

These are suspension components that work with a spring or torsion bar to control the up and down movement at each corner of your car or truck. They prevent the vehicle from leaning and bouncing when going around a turn. Changing your original shocks with high performance shocks, also called “dampers,” can make your ride quality and handling a lot better.

Electric Motors or Internal Combustion Engines

The engine is the heart of your vehicle. It converts fuel into the energy that powers your car or truck. Modifying it allows you to extract more horsepower from it and boost your vehicle’s speed.

Battery

The battery stores power needed to start the engine. It also supplies your car’s electrical needs when your engine is not yet running. Changing your battery with a high capacity battery ensures maximum starting power for your engine.

Headers

These are high performance exhaust manifolds that are designed to let the exhaust flow more freely out of the engine. As it draws the exhaust out of the engine, it maximizes its performance.

Wheels and Tires

These parts are often overlooked when improving a vehicle’s performance. These parts are very important as they are the ones that keep the auto moving. Like any other performance car part, they need special care and attention as they greatly affect the vehicle’s performance. Moreover, as they are ‘closest to the road’, they’ll wear out more quickly if not taken care of. If you want to improve your vehicle’s performance, ride quality and handling, replacing your tires with wider high performance tires is one of your best options.
