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.

A better secured drivetrain supports power modifications, average every day stresses on your vehicle's chassis, and allows for a more immediate feeling of connectedness between the driver and the road.

ECS engineers have developed a permanent and elegant solution to this design oversight with the CNC-machined Aluminum Power Steering Pulley. The black-anodized piece is a direct replacement for the cheap factory part, allowing for the use of the factory belt and hardware.

If you notice a worn CV boot and a rusted or broken axle shaft, investing in a complete axle shaft assembly is the wisest decision for several reasons. Ease of installation is a primary benefit to using an axle shaft assembly; the clamps, cv boots, and seals are all pre-installed, taking the guesswork out of the parts selection process. Also, by replacing both cv boots at the same time, the assembly wears at the same rate, making parts replacement simpler in the future. ECS offers OEM and aftermarket front Axle Shaft Assemblies, specifically designed for the E46.
