Control over camber and caster is critical to achieving the perfect stance and handling characteristics. Whenever your ride height is lowered, the new geometry specified by the control arms introduces negative camber and caster, compromising your tire's contact patch and altering wheel fitment. SPC Front and Rear Adjustable Camber Plates and Bushings give the discerning E39 owner the control over suspension dynamics that makes a good handling car great. With a wide range of caster and camber adjustability, a new-found level of handling tunability is a welcomed addition.

UUC Ultimate Short Shifters use 100% CNC-machined, flex-resistant 303 stainless steel for superior reliability and peformance. Height adjustability is another welcomed feature, allowing for a personalized feel. UUC Ultimate Short Shifters also utilize Delrin carrier bushings and include cartridge bearings for a thorough installation. To compliment your UUC short shifter ECS also offers BMW shift knobs and boots to give your ultimate shifter the ultimate look.

Wheel spacers offset wheels to improve vehicle appearance and handling. These flat discs with matching hub design fit between the 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.

When removing and installing wheels that utilize the factory wheel bolts the process can be frustrating, holding the wheel up with your legs, lining up the holes, and threading the bolts all at the same time. Wheel studs also allow the use of varying length wheel spacers - a highly convenient feature for those that anticipate using different spacer size setups in the future. Conical seat lug nuts are available for a maximum of 10mm, 20mm, or 30mm wheel spacer use.

The heart of the ignition system is the coil - the charge supplied to the spark plug must be adequate and reliable across all engine loads and rpms. Three Ignition Coil Replacements - genuine OEM, URO, and Bremi - are available through ECS tuning, each designed to quickly resolve engine misfires and smooth out power delivery.

DISA valves control the intake manifold runner length to improve engine performance at different rpms. When they fail, the DISA valve bangs around in its housing, making a rattling noise accompanied by rough idle and off-idle hesitation. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it. In some cases, parts of the DISA--including a metal spreader pin--can be sucked into your engine, causing serious engine damage. Easy to replace, your new DISA screws to the side of the intake and comes with pre-installed sealing gasket.

The primary issue with premium suspension upgrades is that these components mount in the same locations as the factory units, and utilize the same control arm designs. Suspension Reinforcement components are parts that work alongside your upgraded or factory suspension to triangulate suspension geometry more precisely. The ECS Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Limiter more exactly specifies the range of motion of your trailing arms, while Heavy Duty Rear Shock Mount Reinforcement Plates provide better rear suspension response while eliminating the possibility of rear shock blowout.

*Increases power and efficiency while decreasing combustion temperatures. *Allows you to run higher boost pressure on pump gas. *Pump gas will resist detonation much better because the methanol essentially raises the octane rating of the fuel and will allow you to run much more aggressive street tuning. *This AEM kit has more features and components than any other comparably priced injection kits on the market.

Whenever pushing your car past the factory-designated limits of operation, whether it be through hard driving or performance modifications, adequate engine cooling should always be a high concern. In fact, improving performance by increasing engine work is only possible when engine temperatures are kept within a reasonable range. The Mishimoto Performance Radiator is capable of a 35% increase in cooling capacity due to a fully-brazed, two-row aluminum core that's 25% thicker than stock. The direct-fit radiator also uses CNC-machined quick-disconnect fittings for perfect fitment.
