When attending to your vehicle's ignition system, the best approach is to replace as many system components as possible at the same time. Doing so allows each part to wear evenly over time, maintaining an accurate service schedule.

Misfires, poor idling, and general poor engine performance can be remedied with one of two kits.

ECS has developed a range of excellent solutions to sloppy, imprecise shift action and clutch feel for your VW. Factory rubber clutch hoses are prone to expansion under the pressure of hard driving and clutch engagement. This expansion can cause the clutch to not disengage properly, making gear changes difficult during quick shifting. ECS Tuning Exact-Fit Clutch Hoses are engineered and assembled with braided stainless steel mesh, offering superior expansion resistance and reinforcement. The resistance to expansion creates a firmer, more direct pedal feel.

Adjustable sway bar end links allow you to lower your car without worrying about clearance issues between your sway bar and axles.

If you're looking for noticeably crisper shifting without adding NVH than this is the bushing for you!

Aftermarket radio installations in Audis are rarely a plug-n-play operation. They usually require extensive wiring, additional adapters, and a dashboard trim kit.

Bremmen's Android Multimedia System features an 7" capacitive touch screen and fits snugly within the uniquely shaped factory radio cut-out.

An extremely effective method of enhancing your driving experience is shortening your shift throws.

Does your engine sound more like a diesel truck than a German sports car? Is the sound of marbles in a tin can all too familiar? Have you noticed a lack of low-end power as the miles have piled up? If you have a high mileage BMW model with the infamous 'VANOS', then it may be time to service the VANOS system.

The VANOS system in the S54 inline-six engine is a finely-tuned variable valve timing adjuster, relying on high pressure oil to function effectively. This high pressure oil is filtered to remove impurities in the oil, which may otherwise damage the expensive unit, turning it into an expensive paperweight. A clogged filter results in oil starvation: a no-no for VANOS. Servicing the VANOS filter at regular 30k mile intervals will help ensure this does not come to pass.

Today's modern engines were made with complex tools that only dealerships seem to have on hand. This forces one to take their vehicle to a dealer in order to get routine service.

The perfect way to unleash hidden horsepower in a modern turbocharged engine is to upgrade the restrictive factory catalytic converter with a smoother, higher flowing unit.
