ECS Tuning's 2-Piece rotors combine the advantages of weight savings and rapid heat dissipation to provide a rotor superior to conventional rotors while preventing warping and extending component life. The reduction of unsprung weight improves handling characteristics under all situations. This reduction in rotational inertia allows for quicker acceleration, decreased braking distances, and more responsive handling.

Innovative new flywheel options are now available to Audi B8 A5 2.0T owners. The ECS engineered Lightweight Flywheel weighs in at 17.8lbs versus the factory 26.5lb - a staggering 8.7lbs of weight savings.

Heat treated and black zinc plated for corrosion resistance and durability, the ECS unit is a model of engineering precision. Multiple complete clutch kits are also available, with torque ratings ranging from 320ft/lbs to 440ft/lbs.
