CHASSIS / FITMENT
Brakes, Suspension & Wheels
Build the chassis as a system: brakes, tires, wheels, geometry, dampers, rear axle and intended use interact.
Choose an upgrade path
Decide whether the problem is heat capacity, pedal feel, repeated-use fade, wheel/tire limitation or appearance before buying hardware.
BRAKE FITMENTWheel / caliper clearance
Wheel diameter alone does not prove spoke or barrel clearance.
BRAKE BALANCEFront-only vs four-wheel
Understand the system-level tradeoffs before mixing front and rear hardware.
SUSPENSIONLowering geometry
Ride height changes geometry, travel and component clearances together.
REAR SUSPENSIONTorque arm / rear axle
Rear-axle and torque-arm choices affect fitment, exhaust, driveline and traction behavior.
DAMPERS / SPRINGSStreet / performance choices
Compare the actual use case and supporting hardware instead of buying by brand reputation alone.
