Modifying Your Porsche for Daily Driving

Porsche Performance Products Without Compromise

If you’re on the lookout for Porsche performance products that will give your ride some extra vigor, you might be worried that those some performance-enhancing upgrades will leave your Porsche compromised as a daily driver.

For many of us, as tempting as it may be to hone our cars into track-day superstars, the reality is that we’d also like our cars to be suited to daily travel. Thankfully, this can be achieved by selecting parts that improve performance and even style without turning your car into something terrifying that’ll have your wife worried. For a daily driver, you can improve your Porsche in such ways as fitting it with sports seats, a performance exhaust, remapping your ECU, and fitting some performance brake pads, amongst others.

Chassis Braces Shouldn’t Be Last on Your List
An often overlooked modification in favor of intakes, exhausts, and the like, chassis braces are an inexpensive means of extracting every last bit of the power your car produces and putting it down more effectively. Whereas the stock chassis setup can see you wasting power because of unnecessary flex or wheel hop, braces counter these concerns by improving handling and predictability – and yes, even on your Porsche! It’s an alteration you won’t see, but you’ll definitely feel. FVD Brombacher’s extensive range of strut braces for various 911 models will give you some idea of what your options are when it comes to chassis stiffening.

ECU remapping
Another modification that is ultimately non-invasive in terms of your car’s practicality is the remapping of your Engine Control Unit. By replacing the default software settings on your ECU (often tuned conservatively for mass production), you can optimize the performance of your car electronically. Some of the advantages will be improved throttle response, a wider rev range, and in certain cases, improved economy.

Performance Sport Seats
Your car’s seats are your primary contact point between you and the interior. Have you ever gone for a test drive and felt uncomfortable behind the wheel? A badly designed seat can instantly tarnish an otherwise complete package. If you’re looking for added comfort, increased support or a more eye-catching look to your Porsche’s interior, then new sports seats are a great option that will add to – rather than take away from – the experience you have with your machine on a daily basis. Deciding what you require from upgraded seats, what you’re willing to spend on them, and which other parts of your interior may be affected by upgraded seats are some of the major considerations you’ll need to take into account. If you’re not sure where to start, consider Recaro’s range of aftermarket seats, which remain the most renowned and awarded in the marketplace.
