During suspension work, there are a few critical tools that make installation and removal infinitely more simple. In order to remove the retaining nut at the top of struts on European cars, a dedicated tool that fits the unique shape of the strut mount is required. Many enthusiasts will damage the strut nut using a wrench or inappropriate socket to accomplish the task, bringing their project to a halt. For professional quality work, Schwaben Specialty Tools has assembled a collection of premium Strut Nut Sockets in all the most popular sizes for your European car.

ECS Tuning has assembled this kit to upgrade the braking on your S4 using our own 2-Piece Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors mated with front Exact-Fit Stainless Steel Brake Lines.

ECS has assembled a complete PCV refresh kit for your Audi, including a PCV breather tube, Pressure Relief Valve, and new gaskets and hardware.

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.
