Brake your car, without breaking the bank. Improve braking performance with an ECS Tuning Big Brake Kit. Bolt on larger rotors, standard finish or GEOMET slotted or slotted-and-drilled. Then mount your original calipers away from the spindle centerline with the kit's larger caliper frames for added mechanical leverage and shorter stops. No need to cough up extra bucks for a set of larger calipers, and you can go on buying readily available standard sized brake pads. Lower price. Less expense. Surer stops. Win. Win. Win.

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.

Most aftermarket boost gauges look like add-ons. The dial numbers and lighting don't match the factory gauges. Many use an afterthought mounting system that looks cheesy.

The gauge design and lighting blend with other gauges to give it a classy, factory-installed look. We've even prepared a detailed photo tutorial outlining the installation, so the fun can start as soon as you open the box.
