The Big Idea

The Big Idea Image

Momentum - Noun

  1. an impelling force or strength

In the aftermarket parts world, results are everything. Either it performs exactly as expected, or it failed. And it’s this simple but clear idea that defines what Momentum Performance is all about— simply put, our products work.

Not convinced? Just look at our parts. You’ll notice better materials and better components. You’ll notice shapes, welds and coatings that are strong, exceedingly functional, and often described as works of art. And you’ll find options that let you customize to create exactly the upgrade you want. Still not convinced? Talk to any of our customers, or better yet, drive one of our cars.

Then you’ll understand.

In The Works

Nissan 350Z

After months of research and development, we are now in the final stage of development of our 350Z performance parts. Included in this group of upgrades are our:

  • Turbo Kit (options for 410 – 720rwhp)
  • ECU Flashes
  • Exhaust Systems
  • Performance Headers
  • Suspension Components
  • Accessories

Honda S2000

Our team has spent countless hours on the track with the S2K and is completing development of the following performance upgrades:

  • Motec ECU Plug-and-Play Harness
  • Suspension Components

BMW 135

We’ve spent more than 8 months working with a leading composite fabricator to develop the first full carbon fiber body for the BMW 135. Flared front and rear fenders, a larger rear spoiler, and lots of weight loss are what it’s all about. Expect to see the prototype in the next 30 days.

  • Full Carbon Fiber Body Components

Watch for more cars and more parts to be announced.
