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.

Buy them alone or with matching lug bolts.

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.
