This set of Alzor Style 020 wheels will not only change the look of your vehicle, but also capture the attention of others. The split spoke design will give your car a sleek appearance that will keep people looking as you pass. Designed to bolt right up to your car, these wheels fit without any modifications or hassle. Of course, if you want to achieve an extreme look, don't forget to check out our large assortment of ECS Tuning wheel spacers and lug bolts.

Schwaben products are characterized by simple, clever designs. Their wheel storage solutions may be the best examples of these qualities. The Schwaben Wheel Tree holds up to 275lbs and allows you to safely stack your wheels without the risk of scuffing and scratching. Convenient locking casters allow you to easily move the whole set anywhere in your garage or shop at one time. And when saving floor space is the highest priority, the Schwaben Wall-Mounted Wheel Rack allows you to securely store up to four 11½" wide wheels and tires against the wall, away from your work space.

Wheel spacers offset wheels to improve vehicle appearance and handling. These flat discs with center holes and wheel bolt holes fit between wheels and hubs to push the wheels outward. Wheel spacers from ECS Tuning come in thicknesses from 5-20mm, to widen track, improve cornering, and provide extra room for altered suspension and brake components.

One of the first modification E36 owners make when looking to upgrade, the stock air box can be restrictive both in air flow and sound. A performance intake system will get you added power and create a more aggressive sound.

Upgrade from your failure prone dual mass flywheel with this kit. Dual mass flywheels allow for fluid-feeling clutch engagements and offer a more luxurious feel than single-mass flywheels. However, with these benefits come significant drawbacks. Cost - Dual mass fly wheels are double the price Serviceability - Single-mass can be resurfaced eliminating the need to replace when a clutch is changed Valeo's conversion kit has been designed to maintain nearly identical clutch and flywheel weight, ideal for keeping the clutch quiet and easy to drive.

The rear shock mount on BMWs has proved to be a poor design; the rigors of daily driving deteriorated the rubber, causing rattling, clunking & rear shock deflection - oftentimes resulting in a blown-out shock mount. The most highly advanced & intelligent solution to this common problem is the superbly engineered, fully serviceable Ultimate Performance Rear Shock Mount upgrade from ECS Tuning. 80A polyurethane isolation bushings allow damper shafts to better articulate, while hard-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum shock mount reinforcement plates make blowouts an impossibility.

As accurate and responsive as the factory E36 steering and handling is, reliable and measurable improvements are possible through simple upgrades. The ECS Tuning Strut Bar is a lightweight aluminum addition to the factory BMW suspension design, increasing chassis rigidity and steering response. By connecting the left and right strut towers together, cornering forces are less likely to upset suspension geometry, resulting in a more predictable and precise driving experience.

Protect your valuable alloy wheels from damage; use Protecta lug bolt sockets from Schwaben. Each of the three common socket sizes comes wrapped in a protective plastic sleeve that shields the wheel bolt holes from damage caused when regular steel sockets are used to remove and install wheels. Available in regular and extended-reach sets, these burly 1/2-inch drive six-point sockets come in a handy carry case, and are color-coded by size. Don't risk an expensive wheel repair; keep a set of Protecta Sockets in your tool box.

Fresh coolant is paramount to safe & reliable engine operation. The process of bleeding the air out of your cooling system during a coolant refresh is tedious & therefore often neglected. ECS offers a highly convenient solution to the tedium & frustration associated with coolant servicing – the Schwaben Coolant Evacuation Kit. Insert the tool into the radiator service neck, attach the included Venturi adapter & allow the system to reach 25 psi, drawing out the vacuum. Use the same tool to fill your radiator, allowing the pressure to resume to 0 psi, completing the procedure.

After your engine produces power, and before your wheels propel your vehicle forward, energy is lost through your drivetrain. These losses are measurable and significant, and are made worse by worn or failing bushings. ECS recognized the need for more performance-oriented differential bushings, and have arrived at another world-class product. The in-house engineered Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushing Sets take care of driveline slop and reduce power deflection, while increasing throttle response and overall drivetrain rigidity.

The best way to address your accessory belt, tensioners, and idler pulley is to invest in a complete kit with new replacement hardware.

The impact driver is a fast and effective way to remove tight or corroded screws and bolts, reducing the chance of rounding off--or rounding out--the fastener head. Insert a slotted or Phillips head screwdriver bit into the driver. Place the screwdriver bit into screw head, and strike the driver with a hammer. The impact drives the bit inward as it rotates the screw, breaking it loose. Reverse the tool to tighten fasteners. For stubborn bolts, remove the black screwdriver bit adapter head, and replace it with any 3/8 - inch drive socket.

Simply remove the rocker jack point access plug, fully insert the Schwaben Jack Pad Adapter, and lift securely using your hydraulic floor jack.
