Below we cover a few key modifications for your car and why they matter. We have prepared a special guide to help you choose your first five key modifications for your car. Alja\u017e from Car Scene Slovenia<\/a>, who with years of experience modifying different cars backed the guide up with hands-on advice (Ford Fiesta ST, Ford Focus RS, BMW F82 M4 700 hp, BMW G82 M4, BMW I3, \u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyres<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, we know, it is the most boring first upgrade. Where are the filters for air, plus sports silencers and huge brake calipers?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll get to those things in time, for for once we want to focus on the basics and really stick to the five modifications every car needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyres are the foundation of a sporty, communicative and even comfortable car. From experience we can recommend the Continental SportContact 7 and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (and its successor, the Pilot Sport S5). These are UHP tyres in the higher price range. We can also recommend more wallet-friendly tyres that are still excellent UHP rubber: the Falken FK510 and FK520.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more demanding drivers who want to take the car on track there are also semi-slick tyres, but those are a story of their own.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do we recommend tyres first? The right rubber and the right pressures are a prerequisite for good feedback and grip. They are also a prerequisite for getting the full benefit of every upgrade listed below. From experience we can also say that a slow car with good tyres gains a whole new dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nSemi-slick tyres. Semi-slick tyres.\n\n\n\n\n

Brakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And no, we are not talking about huge calipers \u2013 we are still on the basics.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more dynamic drivers we recommend performance pads, which respond superbly in extreme conditions. We can recommend EBC Yellowstuff, Ferodo DS2500, Hawk HP+ or Hawk HPS pads. We have hands-on experience with all of them and they are an excellent upgrade for the road and the odd track day. So by upgrading the pads we increase the brakes\u2019 thermal capacity and reduce the risk of cooking them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By increasing the brakes\u2019 thermal capacity we can expect heat to be dissipated into the area around the caliper. This is where we get to brake fluid overheating and rubber brake lines expanding. Fixable? Of course! Our range also includes braided brake lines<\/strong><\/a> and brake fluid with a higher boiling point<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In three steps we have already covered the vast majority of what enthusiasts need for fun cars that we don\u2019t take on track regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA brake upgrade on a BMW E91 \u2013 performance discs, pads, braided brake lines, performance brake fluid, \u2026\n\n\n\n

Basic suspension modifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everyone interprets basic suspension modifications differently, as preferences vary. Depending on what each person wants, there are a few things to upgrade on the suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
