Those are what come to mind.

Title: Re: the Ohlins and Termignoni of the Car World Post by: Melfqw on March 10, 2013, 12:17:44 PM For parts that are sold in cars from the factory the only one I really can think of is Brembo. They put brakes on plenty of cars and even sometimes without the "Brembo" label on the caliper (my Dad has a 2013 Range Rover Sport and it has Brembo brakes but says "Range Rover" on the calipers). Most of the time car companies only buy aftermarket for stock cars if they are an upgraded sport model (Mitsubishi Evo, Volvo S60R, Subari STI?, etc) or if the manufacturer is not large enough to make their own parts. You would have to do some research to find direct examples.
As for aftermarket parts there are a ton, but the best wheels I can think of are probably Ray's Gram Lights (something like 400$ a wheel). |
