Choose between our plain geo-spec coated, slotted zinc coated, or cross drilled and slotted zinc coated rotor designs! Our V5 plain rotor design is perfect for daily drivers looking for a reliable and affordable brake rotor option, and features a durable GeoSpec; silver-colored coating, which offers superior corrosion protection versus a painted or zinc coated rotor. This coating also eliminates the light oiling many manufactures utilize to avoid flash rust while rotors are stored or in transit: this means there's no cleaning or scuffing required to install ECS V5 plain rotors, making brake services quicker than that with uncoated rotors. Our V5 slotted rotor design provides excellent heat dissipation thanks to reduced pad out-gassing, meaning reduced brake fade. Slotting also reduces glazing, meaning consistently increased overall stopping power. Our 5th generation slotted brake rotor also features a sleek black zinc coating for a clean, contemporary look as well as superior corrosion protection versus an uncoated or black oxide coated rotor. Our V5 cross drilled and slotted rotor design offers even greater heat dissipation and improved wet-weather performance as compared with a slotted rotor, making it an ideal choice for high-performance driving enthusiasts. Our 5th generation slotted brake rotor also features a sleek black zinc coating for a clean, contemporary look as well as superior corrosion protection versus an uncoated or black oxide coated rotor. Pick the perfect set of pads, ranging from OEM replacement style to higher performance pad options. If you are looking for a specific brand or compound to get that extra edge on the track, contact our sales team today to discuss alternative pad options! All service kits include a care package that contains our stainless steel rotor set screws and two packages of brake grease so your installation goes smoothly!

If you live in an apartment or you can't get your car up on ramps or stands but want to change your oil, then this is exactly what you need. This tool enables you to drain from the dipstick tube and refill like normal, without getting under the car or fighting with drain plugs. Not only is it convenient it's also efficient: most cars leave oil in the pan when being drained from the plug�sometimes up to a half quart. The extractor, however, can reach this remaining broken down fluid to make room for even more uncontaminated lubricant. Extract the extra work from the job.
