DRP Performance

DRP Performance: Engineered for Racing Set-Up and Hub Efficiency

DRP Performance is a Virginia-based manufacturer of tools, equipment and components built specifically for the automotive racing industry. Rather than serving everyday street applications, the company focuses on the details that decide races: rolling resistance at the hub, accurate spring rates, and repeatable chassis set-ups. Racers and crew chiefs who chase tenths of a second often start with the small, precise parts that DRP Performance is known for.

Low Drag Hub Components and Bearing Spacers

The brand's best-known work centers on reducing friction in the wheel hub. Its wheel bearing spacer designs use a threaded, adjustable arrangement so end play or preload can be dialed in quickly and locked with a set screw, helping teams control bearing pressure and temperature. These spacers are offered for popular racing applications, including GM metric hubs, GM Impala-style spindles and Wide 5 hubs, and they are paired with low drag bearing kits and ultra low drag seals.

Related hub hardware, such as a wheel bearing and hub assembly component and a wheel spacer, round out the drivetrain-side offering for teams building or refreshing a hub package. Seal options range from sealed designs to air-gap styles aimed at minimizing drag, and installation tools like seal drivers and spacer install tools help ensure parts go in correctly.

Assembly Lubricants and Bearing Care

Proper lubrication matters as much as the hardware. DRP Performance supplies wheel bearing grease and bearing packers, and its assembly lubricant offering supports clean, consistent hub builds. Correctly packed bearings run cooler and last longer, which is critical when a hub may spin thousands of laps between rebuilds.

Spring Smashers and Chassis Set-Up Tools

DRP Performance also builds set-up equipment, including the Accu-Force line of Spring Smashers acquired in 2023. A suspension coil spring compressor tool kit in this family lets teams measure spring loads and swap coil-over springs quickly without disturbing ride height. Companion items such as shock travel indicators, adjustable set-up struts, clevis bracket kits and chromoly rod ends help teams repeat their set-ups from week to week.

What to Consider When Shopping

• Hub compatibility: Match spacers and kits to your spindle, bearing numbers and hub style.
• Seal choice: Decide how much drag reduction you want versus contamination protection for your track surface.
• Tooling: Use the correct install tools to protect precision-machined surfaces.
• Set-up repeatability: Accurate measuring tools make it easier to carry a winning baseline from race to race.

With a catalog built around racing needs, DRP Performance gives teams a focused set of parts and tools for faster, more consistent cars.
