    A guy I know of has a 458 Challenge, the car has a full aero kit from BAMD ltd. in the UK. Recently he has decided he wants more speed from the car. He wants to keep the Challenge, although I recommended selling the Challenge and getting a 458 GT3 instead. The aim is to get the car as fast around a circuit as possible without getting a GT3.

    So when I'm looking for parts om obviously searching the internet for all kinds of stuff, these are the suppliers I know of so far:

    - BAMD Ltd.
    - Rollcentre
    - Evolution 2
    - FF Corse

    Does anyone know of performance parts suppliers for the 458C (I'm thinking upgrades here, not spares) which I haven't listed? I'm sure there are more out there, especially interested in those capable of engine mapping. I noticed Evolution 2 could extract 645 HP with a free flow exhaust. Sorry if it's a stupid question, but does Michelotto sell aero parts or upgrades you can retro-fit on a 458C?

    Your help would be much appreciated. And before you bring it up, I'm aware of the 458C EVO kit which is testing just after Finali Mondali and will be available next season. I don't think the EVO package is aggresive enough for the guy in question, and seems from what I know redudant since the racer already has an extensive aero kit fitted.

    Thanks in advance! :)

    Hi Im looking for the same sort of upgrades, planning a full rebuild of my 458 Challenge car (she's a little bit tired!) and am looking at the same suppliers you have listed, what is the BAMD aero kit like? I spoke to them a while ago regarding their kit and they seemed very knowledgeable? they also have dampers and brake upgrades as well are you using these? As I know how soft the standard dampers are!

    He tried to change to stiffer dampers but the car got too stiff and actually lost time to a 458C with a softer setup. A 458C is not a race car like a GT3.

    BAMD and Rollcentre have all the parts you need. BAMD kit is very good, and agressive. Check out their respective websites.
