Bendix Dot 4 High Performance Brake Fluid

Image
Bendix High Performance DOT 4 Brake Fluid DOT 4 is one of the few designation for automotive brake fluid, denoting a special mixture of chemicals imparting specified boiling point. As of 2006, most cars produced in the U.S. use DOT 4 brake fluid. The advantage of using DOT 4 instead of DOT 3 is DOT 4 have much higher boiling point compare to DOT3! Min. Boiling Point DOT 3 : 205 °C DOT 4 : 230 °C Though it might seem little different, it can make lots of different in your braking performance to prevent brake fade.. Warning!! Avoid using DOT 5 brake fluid as it is very hygroscopic and will absorb water from the atmosphere. This degrades the fluid's performance, and if allowed to accumulate over a period of time, can drastically reduce its boiling point! Price? very cheap nia.. Top brand selling at price same with other conventional brake fluid! BENDIX! Got what it takes to stop, when you needed it! Call: 016 888 6395

Improving Suspension

ADJUSTING HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS Tuning your suspension for sports driving means sacrificing some of the comfort for speed. As long as the car is on a flat surface like that of a racing circuit, the lower the body is to the ground, the lower the center of gravity will be, and the more stable its behavior. Harder suspension makes for less wasted movement during acceleration, deceleration and turning, which keeps the handling sharp. However, if the suspension doesn't move at all, the car will not be able to deal effectively with load transfer, and drivability will be extremely poor. The best solution is to make the suspension harder while also bearing in mind the degree to which weight will need to shift in all four directions. Depending on your vehicle and the surface you are driving on, you may sometimes need to make the suspension softer in order to improve grip. SHOCK-ABSORBERS The objective of upgrading shock absorbers is to provide higher damping force than the standard

Upgrading to High-Performance Tires

High-performance tires are a double-edged sword that improve grip greatly, but make control extremely difficult when exceed their limits. Tires must be chosen by carefully considering how they will complement factors such as the vehicle's power and other characteristics. INCREASED GRIP/RIGIDITY Grip and rigidity are the most important characteristics of high performance tires. Slicks-tires designed especially for racing-boast the best of both. The rubber compound they are made from gives excellent grip by melting slightly and sticking to the track surface when it heats up, and in order to maintain rigidity in the part of the tire that makes contact with the road, they have no grooves. Road tires designed for high-performance driving take a similar, if slightly less extreme, approach, using softer rubber compounds, and thread patterns with very shallow grooves. However, on wet surfaces, grooves are essential to ensure that the tires can effectively rid themselves of water, and t
