Inject a healthy dose of Porsche DNA into your Audi with one of our famous Big Brake Kits. Available in red, blue, or black, our super stopper packages have an eye-popping list of premium components, including massive Porsche Cayenne six-piston calipers and two-piece rotors, drilled and slotted for improved performance and quicker cooling. Unlike copycat BBKs, our Big Brake Kits include all the incidentals you need for a complete, lasting installation: hardware, brake fluid, performance pads, wear sensors, and Exact-Fit brake lines.

The specialty tool experts at Schwaben have released a series of superbly engineered, exceptionally reliable car ramps, now available from ECS tuning. The new 30" to 67" Car Ramps are available with a regular or low-profile design. Specially made to accommodate vehicles with low bumper clearance, the low-profile ramps eliminate the risk of body damage & the dangers of sliding ramps. These Schwaben Ramps are made from advanced EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam with a special anti-skid coating, preventing sliding while adding additional structural strength.

Schwaben Specialty Tools is known for releasing clever, highly useful automotive tools that make owning a European car less frustrating and more fun. Two new exciting product releases - the Mechanic's Stethoscope and the Scraper, Pick and Hook set - are superb examples of Schwaben reliability and ingenuity. Featuring an aluminum probe & rubber trumpet, the Schwaben Stethoscope makes finding vacuum leaks, pressure flow noises, and knocks infinitely more simple. The Scraper, Hook And Pick Set is an indispensable kit with endless uses, from carbon cleaning to picking out o-rings.

The German TUV (Technical Inspection Association) has determined that in several European countries the clearance between fender and tire must be adequate to accommodate snow chains when safety requires. In North America, where no such law exists, S4 owners have the option of restoring Audi's original intention of providing a focused race-bred machine by widening their B8's stance, improving road-holding and performance aesthetics. Improve your stance appeal with the 8mm front/12.5mm rear ECS spacers & appropriate-length bolts setup.

If your B5 S4 is packing some extra power, make sure you have the braking capacity to rein it in. ECS Tuning offers an effective but economical rear big brake upgrade kit. Featuring ECS-designed drilled & slotted two-piece rotors, this kit utilizes your stock brake caliper using a special caliper bracket. The bigger rotor means more leverage for more braking torque, while the lightweight two-piece drilled and slotted rotors keep thermal gain in check. A perfect compliment to your ECS front big brake kit, this upgrade installs easily with hand tools. Check out our install PDF.

Looking for an inexpensive way to upgrade the appearance of your Audi? If so, the Seat Cupra R Lip Spoiler is just the thing for you. Although this spoiler isn't a direct bolt on, the modifications needed for proper fitment are rather simple for the average do-it-yourselfer.

Looking for an inexpensive way to upgrade the appearance of your Audi? If so, the Seat Cupra R Lip Spoiler is just the thing for you. The modifications needed for proper fitment are very basic and easily accomplished by the average do-it-yourselfer.

The Volkswagen Audi Group catalog includes more than just Volkswagens and Audis. This results in more than a couple overlaps in parts, for both performance and styling. If you know where to look, that is. We do. ECS Tuning brings you the front lip spoiler from the European-only SEAT Cupra R. This lip features an aggressive design not found on any US-market car. While not exactly direct-fit, with some slight tweaking, you can give your B6 Audi A4 or S4 a unique appearance that will have other enthusiasts guessing. And to sweeten the deal, take a look at the price!

Reduce weight. Reduce heat. Reduce warping. ECS Tuning engineered 2-Piece semi-floating rotors offer real world benefits that can be felt on both the street and track! Our 2-Piece rotors combine the advantages of weight savings and rapid heat dissipation to provide a rotor superior to stock 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.

Tweak fuel pressure, then monitor line pressure with ECS Tuning Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulators and inline Fuel Pressure Gauge Kits. Based on a Bosch regulator, our metal-bodied adjustable regulator is an exact-fit replacement for the stock unit. Its integral adjustment screw lets you change rail pressure, and its vacuum-sensing port automatically compensates for the pressure drop across the injectors at different engine loads. Add our 0-100 psi pressure gauge, individually, or as part of a kit, and take the guesswork out of fuel pressure monitoring and adjustment.

In North America, factory Audi Xenon headlights have amber corner markers and a more narrow beam pattern. E-code, or European specification Audi headlights contain a small circle on the lens with the letter "E" inside, accompanied by a number. Not only are the E-codes more crisp and aesthetically pleasing, they produce a more brilliant beam that is noticeably wider.

Give 'em what they really want the most: cold, hard cash. Buy a traditional ECS Tuning plastic gift card and include it as a sweet surprise for a special someone. Need something fast?

Step right up. Get your colorific candy colored key covers right here at ECS Tuning. Soft silicone covers in brilliant colors protect your remote key fob, and make it easy to spot your keys in the pile on the hallway key rack. Sized for an exact fit, these new molded covers slip on easily in seconds.

A highly effective method of unseating over-tightened or corroded screws and bolts, the impact driver accomplishes two important tasks with the blow of a hammer—positively engaging the bolt or screw head while twisting it counter-clockwise. Stripping a critical bolt or screw can stop your project in its tracks, and necessitate hours of tedious labor. Choose the tool professionals use for the job, and leave time for more enjoyable pursuits.

The factory oil filter housing cap on your Audi doesn't jive with the rest of the engine bay's fine materials. The super-slick black billet aluminum cap by ECS corrects this oversight, while adding another dimension of increased longevity, durability, and ease of use. The ECS housing requires no special tools to install the cap; all you'll need is a common 22mm socket or box wrench.

Get in touch with your bad self. You know how to drive a stick, so why not stick a fork in that marshmallow self-adjusting pressure plate. Why not go with a conventional disc, mated to a single mass flywheel. Our Valeo single mass flywheel clutch conversion kit takes your Audi back to its roots as a bare-knuckled brawler. The non-adjustable pressure plate puts you in touch with the clutch, restoring a crisp, responsive feel. The single mass flywheel costs less than a dual mass, and can be resurfaced in the future to extend its service life. You'll feel the difference.

A cracked or broken rear view mirror can be an annoyance as well as a safety concern. Losing the ability to quickly glance at objects behind you limits your ability to focus on the road ahead. Replace your mirror to save your neck from the strain of turning around every time you need to see what's approaching. Anti-dazzle technology refracts light so high beams don't reflect straight off the mirror into your eyes.

Put a spring in your step and a shine on your pedals with this new pedal set from Bremmen Parts, ready to rock with a heavy metal look and light pedal feel. This is the ultimate, no-fuss accessory kit. Just pry the old pedals off, and slip the new brushed aluminum ones onto the steel pedals beneath. No drilling. No screwing. No fooling! Available as a full set with dead pedal (your right foot shouldn't have all the fun).

The Fumoto 14mm oil drain valve replaces your Volkswagen or Audi OE drain plug for fast, easy oil changes. Its spring-loaded valve has a quick release tab that makes changing oil a snap. Just push and turn to drain. All metal construction assures years of trouble-free service. Includes a threaded brass extension for oil pans with recessed drain plugs. A good idea. Long overdue.

Odds are, your worn and faded center console armrest's latch is broken by now. Odds are also pretty high that you're tired of trying to rest your arm on that wiggling lid. You could buy a repair button and fiddle around getting the latch working again, but you'd still have that nasty stained and faded surface looking up at you. We have a better idea: a completely new center armrest lid, available just for your Audi. The 'squeaky wheel' doesn't always get the grease; sometimes, it gets thrown out.
