Most new performance cars could use a more athletic, performance-purposed wheel fitment. Not only does widening a car's track width decrease body roll through turns & make better use of available grip, but the new uninterrupted line from the wheel arch to the tire makes for a cleaner rear & front profile. ECS Flush Kits include the most cleverly engineered, highest quality spacers available, specifically matched to your Audi B8 A4's styling and performance needs.

If you're looking for premium quality brake rotors with world class corrosion protection, look no more. Unlike paints and other plated coatings, a new technology called GEOMET takes corrosion protection to a new level. The GEOMET formula combines metal oxides, zinc, and flakes of aluminum. Sprayed over the entire rotor surface, it is baked at 600 degrees to form a hard, silver gray finish. Our in-house tests exposed plain, zinc-coated, and GEOMET rotors to salt spray and heat. In the end, GEOMET was the clear winner. GEOMET rotors make stopping a styling statement.

A worn or failing N75 valve typically accompanies a loss of boost pressure and potentially a check engine light. The valve is vital to the health of your turbocharged engine, controlling when and how far to open the wastegate when releasing boost pressure.

The units utilize completely serviceable valves with an aluminum piston and o-ring seal - compared to the easily-torn rubber diaphragm found in the OEM valve. Includes 3 different springs to fine tune the valve to your liking!
