Perform
Performance Upgrades
Intake, exhaust, suspension, wheels and brakes — sourced and set up right, with honest advice.
Brief
Part of Perform →A few things done properly will always beat everything done at once.
Performance work at Mekina Studios is about doing a few things properly rather than everything at once. We help you choose genuine, well-matched hardware — the parts that actually improve how the car drives, sounds and stops — and we install and set it up to the standard the rest of the studio works to.
The starting point is always a conversation about what you want from the car: sharper response, a better stance, more confident braking, or a sound to match the look. From there we recommend proven components and are honest about what each upgrade will and won't do, so the spend goes where it counts.
This is hardware and installation, sourced and fitted with care — a different discipline from the software side of vehicle coding, and one we'll always scope with clear expectations rather than horsepower promises.

- Professional installation to the studio's standard
- Alignment and setup included where the work needs it
- Upgrades planned as a coherent package, not a random pile of parts
Longevity & care
Quality bolt-on hardware lasts the life of the car when it's fitted and maintained properly. Suspension and brakes are wear items that benefit from periodic checks; wheels and tires follow normal service intervals. We advise on maintenance for anything we install.
- Re-check torque on new suspension hardware after the first drives
- Keep to recommended service intervals for brakes and fluids
- Rotate and align tires on schedule to protect fitment
- Bring the car back if anything sounds or feels different
