Lifting your E31/E36 has never been safer or easier than it is with a hydraulic jack head adapter from ECS Tuning. Our stainless side mount lift adapter slides securely into rocker panel jack holes, where it provides a stable lift point that safely engages the round lift head used on most hydraulic jacks, including the Schwaben Low Boy. Lift both standard ride height and lowered chassis cars with ease, and prevent damage to body panels and paint. Work safe. Work smart. ECS Tuning. Raising the bar...and your car.

If your car is driven near ocean sprays or exposed to winter road salt, check out ECS stainless steel rotor hold down screws. Regular steel screws can't stand up to salt.

Plan ahead. Install stainless screws on this brake job, and you won't have to drill them out on the next one. Keep them on hand.
