For many people, the factory options that come already installed on a new car are enough. They drive them around, take them for car washes and change the oil every few months. When the time is up, they trade the vehicle in for a newer model.
But for others, a new car—or an old one for that matter—is a continuous investment of both time and energy. You’re regularly looking for new ways to improve the performance and appearance of your car.
Is this your first venture into high performance parts in Hesperia, CA? Then here are a few basic aftermarket upgrades you may want to consider as you start the process of creating the perfect vehicle:
Performance tires
Wider tires are favored for much more than just the fact that they look like they can crush any small cars in your way. They have a wide list of practical purposes as well. By trading in your factory wheels for an upgraded version, you’ll have the benefits of improved braking, road holding and better grip on the road during poor weather conditions.
One of the few downsides is that the extra weight can lead to a slight decrease in overall horsepower—so you’ll just have to determine whether speed or control is more important based on your driving style.
Strut bars
The addition of a strut bar is one of the most common, yet effective aftermarket upgrades. Installing a strut bar will help you get a better handling on your vehicle. The addition of tower braces can help ensure that your vehicle stays completely stable while you attempt to take any sharp corner turns quickly. Plus, you’ll experience an increased level of control when it comes to acceleration and braking.
Strut bars are available in different configurations, such as front upper and rear lower, to fit your needs.
High-performance shocks
Looking to venture into off-roading with your upgraded vehicle? Then consider adding a set of high-performance shocks. A good pair of shocks will ensure that your tires can handle any bumps or hole in your path at a relatively high speed.
Quality, well designed seats
High quality, custom seats are a clear sign that someone is invested in their car. But a well-designed seat offers much more than just aesthetic benefits. You can purchase seats based off any physical needs, such as a bad back, or by considering what you’re hoping to use the car for. Plus, they provide improved pedal control and a higher level of support. You can either purchase a pre-created seat or create a custom design crafted to perfectly fit your needs.
