Performance Parts Buying Guides
BMW · Porsche · VAG · Toyota
Choose performance parts around your exact vehicle, how you use it and what you want to improve. This directory brings together Nineteen72 Performance's buying guides, fitment resources and first-hand trackday stories, so you can move from a question to the right research before ordering.
Which brake pads, discs or fluid should I choose?
Start with the fitted brake system, axle and intended use, then compare the appropriate product or compound. Keep fitment and compound choice as separate checks. These guides cover BMW brake references, pad comparisons and supporting components.
Which coilovers, camber plates or geometry parts suit my build?
Define your road and track priorities before comparing suspension ranges. Record the car's current setup and relevant suspension options, and check the product's exact application. These guides help organise the comparison without treating one setup as right for every driver.
Where should I start with Porsche brake and suspension upgrades?
Use a guide that matches your Porsche generation and derivative. Confirm the fitted brake and suspension options before choosing a product; do not transfer a GT3, GT4 or 718 application to another model without an exact fitment check.
Which guides cover Volkswagen Group and Toyota?
Start with the specific platform rather than assuming a part fits every Golf, Audi or Toyota with a similar name. Use these guides alongside the vehicle catalogue and the product's application details.
How do I research servicing parts, wheels and tyres?
Use the exact engine and manufacturer requirements when researching servicing products. For wheel and tyre changes, compare the current and proposed setup and check the required clearances before ordering. The resources below are a starting point, not a substitute for checking your own vehicle.
- BMW engine oil capacity and service parts guide
- Selecting the right engine oil
- Choosing the right coolant
- BMW wheel spacer sizes and fitment
- Stud and nut conversion guide
- Yokohama A052 vs AD09 for road and track
Also use the BMW Technical Resource Centre and wheel fitment calculator.
What should I research before my next trackday?
Start with preparation and the condition of the car, not a list of upgrades alone. Use the checklists to organise your research and read the development stories as first-hand experiences of specific cars and days, rather than universal performance guarantees.
Ready to find the right part?
