🏁 From passion to performance: the story of STR Performance

It all started long before 2011, in a modest garage filled with the sound of clicking, the smell of hot oil, and dreams of speed. Tom , founder ofSTRPerformance.com , didn't fall into mechanics by chance: it's a visceral passion , forged in his teens between circuit paddocks, car rally parking lots, and long nights spent dismantling, understanding, and optimizing every part of an engine.

🚗 A heart that beats to the rhythm of the cylinders… and the grip

Before being an entrepreneur, Tom is above all a passionate person . The kind of person who takes apart an engine "just to see how to improve it." Every weekend, he tests and refines sports suspensions , compares lowering kits , anti-roll bars or adjusts the suspension to improve road holding and precision.

Performance isn't just about power : it's also about balance, chassis settings and transmission optimization.
