Are you ready to make your fluid bleeding job as simple as changing your oil? Typically, two people are needed in order to get the job done, but sometimes, that second person isn't around and when they are, the job itself is extremely time consuming. These new Motive products will make a complex job an easy one. When it comes to bleeding your brakes, you won't have to pump the pedal. This tool uses pressurized brake fluid to force air and old fluid out of your brake lines. The same can be said for clutch and differential fluid.

We're excited; and with good reason. ECS Tuning proudly introduces our new line of premium, corrosion-resistant rotors: GEOMET. GEOMET is a special coating containing metal oxides, zinc, and aluminum flakes, sprayed over the entire rotor surface to ensure complete coverage, and baked on at 600 degrees to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust far better than paints or other conventional coatings. Slotted or drilled and slotted, you can expect your new GEOMET rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your alloy wheels.
