About Richmond

When a company has an impressive worldwide reputation in the racing arena then it would be hard to question the quality of their products. RICHMOND, founded in 1915, has a steadfast commitment to continual research and development and inestimable manufacturing made possible with the latest and greatest manufacturing techniques. The extensive selection of ring and pinion gear sets manufactured by RICHMOND are some of the toughest in the industry because manufacturing is computer-controlled every step of the way and involves the ability to cut gears to 1,000th of an inch precision and heat treat them at the finish. RICHMOND takes pride in the fact that their products are available for a multiplicity of vehicles from the newest to those from the 1940’s. Their Double Diamond symbol is indicative of their success in the field of racing since RICHMOND products have been an important element in winning cars in both the Daytona 500 and the U.S. Nationals, and with this to speak for them, you can be confident that RICHMOND gears will stand up to the harshest conditions in the most extreme situations. RICHMOND is able to accomplish this because they have top-of-the-line equipment that they can utilize for continual checking of strength, hardness and tolerance and they demand their products meet very strict standards and won’t release them until they do just that. Now let’s talk about racing and gears and we’ll start off by saying that a powerful engine alone will not win you a race and while it is certainly a big contributing factor your rear gears also play an important role in your success on the track because you need gears that are low enough to give you the edge when it comes to starting and accelerating and the wrong gears can be an impediment and lose the race for you. The Richmond Rear End Gears available on the LMPERFORMANCE web site for your 2010-2014 Camaro with 3.73 Ratio are one example of a product that is designed to help you win races since it will increase both your launch speed and acceleration and can make your Camaro lightning quick off the line. Check out the Camaro and Firebird gears below and find the perfect gear to give you the extra edge you need. Be first to the finish line with the inimitable Double Diamond and make it all possible with a competitive price from LMPERFORMANCE.

These are some of the items you can find at LMPerformance for your BMW

If you own a BMW, the luxury German car, then we know you appreciate the finer things in life and want top quality performance out of your car and we want to help you do that with the prestigious array of performance parts available on our web site. Parts like those from the inimitable SPEC Clutch line with Clutch Kits from street kit Stage 1,2,2+, 3, and 3+ to Race Kits Stage 4 and 5 and the Mini Twin and in the SPEC Super Twin for the M6, M5 and M3. We know you don’t want a cookie cutter clutch but one that satisfies your driving needs and the stage selection of the SPEC clutch is determined primarily by use, rather it be for street use or more high performance use such as racing or autocross. and by materials used to manufacture the various clutches such as molded carbon KEVLAR, full faced Kevlar with steel backing, carbon semi-metallic on one side, carbon semi-metallic 6 puck sprung or not sprung, carbon semi-metallic with a double sprung hub, solid hub with 8 rivets or full-metallic disc- all decided by you, the driver. The pressure plate in your BMW is the driving force between your engine's power and the drive line and if you are doing intense driving you need a performance pressure plate like the one from SPEC for increased holding power. Another great product from SPEC, the billet flywheel exceeds the industry standard of .010 tolerances by a considerable amount with the .001 tolerance guaranteeing ideal balance and flat bedding and can be rebuilt and have a replaceable steel friction plate and they are a lightweight alternative to your factory flywheel.

Several estimable exhaust kit options are available for your BMW and one such brand is CORSA Performance, a renowned manufacturer of aftermarket performance exhausts. CORSA Performance features straight unrestricted flow mufflers and are available depending on application in 3 different sound levels to suit your taste. For example, CORSA'S BMW M3 exhaust system features a patented non-restrictive straight-through design resulting in the reduction of back pressure and freeing up much needed power all resulting in improved horsepower and torque. Since there is no drone because of CORSA’S own RSC Reflective Sound Cancellation technology, you never need to worry about the that annoyance just expect great sound.

Another very popular choice by BMW enthusiasts are the B&B (Billy Boat) exhausts which are made right here in the U.S. in Arizona. They feature 304 mandrel bent Stainless steel and come in several muffler styles such as the Bullets, PRT, and Fusion. B&B tunes each muffler to match its application for the best possible performance gain and sound quality combination. Billy Boat recently started to incorporate the PRT technology into all of their muffler systems. PRT Technology allows true straight through exhaust passage under aggressive driving, though a mellow sound is emitted at cruising speed thanks to the unique Purge Chamber. The use of two distinct packing materials and several S.C.C.’S inside the BILLY BOAT muffler enable them to create a harmonious sound that will have heads turning when you drive by.
