Set your MK5 Rabbit apart from the rest with new ECS Carbon Fiber Hatch Spoilers. Made from authentic carbon fiber material, these spoilers will remain structurally rigid while adding a bold styling upgrade to your Volkswagen! Available in Sport Style and Streamline Style, these direct fit spoilers add a dash of race inspired looks.

The OEM water pipe is made of plastic, like many other components in your cooling system. This plastic becomes brittle over time and exposure to constant temperature change. Instead of installing another plastic piece that is bound to fail, ECS engineered a permanent solution; Our Billet Aluminum Water Pipe. We started with the OEM piece to ensure we get all the critical dimensions just right. Machined from 6061 aluminum for a strong yet lightweight pipe and anodized to protect against corrosion. This is designed to be the last water pipe you'll ever need to replace.

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.

Get the best floor mats available for all-weather protection to endure the harshest conditions from WeatherTech and Genuine VW. Deep grooved mats hold anything that mother nature can throw at them. Snow, slush, dirt, and debris are hidden away and kept from underneath your feet. WeatherTech mats, available in tan, black, or gray complement virtually any interior color while preserving your interior to keep it looking new.

Your Audi's generator, fans, water pumps and AC compressors all rely on accessory drive belts to do their job. Over time, cracking, glazing, and squeaking occur; for these reasons, replacing your drive belts before they crack or break is a highly prudent investment. Additionally, if the accessory belt snaps constantly, or is sloppy and loose in your vehicle, the only solution is a new tensioner. The ECS-assembled kit comes with everything you need to refresh your whole drive belt system, including the tensioner assembly, accessory belt, and hardware.

Diverter valves live in a tough neighborhood. By definition diverter valves limit turbo boost, and in most cases eventually fail due to a pin hole sized tear in the valve diaphragm. It's for this reason that ECS now supplies an unparalleled range of superb Performance Diverter & Blow Off Valves. All of the most prominent brands are represented - CTS, ECS, Forge, APR, HKS, and EuroSport kits all feature boost-hardy internals tough enough to take the pressure without blowing their lids. Each unit works and plays well with your MK4 1.8T engine management system.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve on your Mercedes-Benz engine is a device which is used to help reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by recirculating a portion of the engines exhaust gas back into the intake manifold to be re-burned. ECS Tuning's EGR valve master kit offers everything you need to get your EGR system functioning properly again, and keep your engine running at its best for years to come.

H&R Sport Springs are a great way to improve looks and cornering performance without a loss of comfort or daily driveability. A lowered stance is coupled with an increased spring rate, lowering the car's center of gravity and eliminating the 4x4 appearance of your stock Boxster. A mild lowering that won't render your car useless on the street, the spring rates are carefully engineered to preserve ride quality. Take your Porsche's handling to the next level with H&R Sport Springs.

The factory Audi B9 A4 transmission mount has a large void in the rubber damping medium, which results in excessive transmission movement under load. This movement results in drivetrain slop than can be observed when accelerating, decelerating, and shifting. This billet aluminum insert is designed to fill the large void in the factory transmission mount, and limit transmission movement without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any additional noise, vibration, or harshness into the cabin.

Ready to blow off a little steam? Stock diverter valves just can't handle performance upgrades. Add a little boost and they get all weak in the knees and go to pieces. It's for this reason that ECS now supplies an unparalleled range of superb Performance Diverter & Blow Off Valves. All of the most prominent brands are represented - CTS, Forge, and Go Fast Bits kits all feature boost-hardy internals tough enough to take the pressure without blowing their lids. Each unit works and plays well with your VW's engine management system.

The belly pans provided for most Audi’s have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts. Many enthusiasts have even chose to run their vehicles without this protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine and drivetrain components. ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, 4mm thick 5052 aluminum, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

Chassis strengthening is a technique used by the most discerning, experienced car enthusiasts. Over time, chassis rigidity becomes a greater priority than short-lived, negligible performance upgrades. Every dimension of performance is affected by a more connected chassis feel. Euro Sport, UNIbrace, and Tyrolsport have developed exceptional methods of bringing a much-needed measure of chassis rigidity to your Volkswagen.

Suspension components are one of the most overlooked areas of maintenance on a vehicle. With all the work that your suspension does, it is critical to keep each component functioning well for a compliant and safe ride. Eventually, all of the stock components will deteriorate, and leave you with a less than desirable driving experience. No matter how old your car is, it's easy to restore steering feel, suspension feel, and a great ride. Three levels of Suspension Refresh Kits have been assembled by ECS to address the specific needs of your VW.

One of the more conspicuous design changes made for the latest generation Audi engine, the updated coil pack arrangement represents not only a technological advantage but an aesthetic improvement over the outgoing ignition system. The ECS-engineered Coil Pack Conversion Kit uses a CNC-machined adapter, exuding engineering rigor and exceptional taste that perfectly matches Audi's latest design approaches.

ECS Tuning now supplies complete bolt on turbo upgrade kits that require no additional plumbing or modifications. The FrankenTurbo F23T hybrid turbo upgrade allows you to use the turbocharger upgrade by itself with all factory components. You can also choose to upgrade your ECU and choice components for a more smooth, consistent power delivery. The F23T uses an inconel 713C Alloy Steel "Mixed Flow" Turbine Rotor, forged billet aluminum alloy compressor wheel, 42CrMo high-strength rotor shaft, and an up-rated K16-series 360 degree thrust bearing and ring.

Light on weight. Long on looks. ECS 2-Piece front and rear brake rotors combine the natural advantages of a cast iron braking surface with the weight savings and rapid heat dissipation of an aluminum hat. Cast iron-gray and durable matte black hats create an eye-catching contrast that accents painted calipers behind open-faced alloy wheels. These beauties have all the extras: black anodized hats, cross-drilled and slotted brake faces, and unlike OEM, directionally vaned rotors for better cooling and heat dissipation over stock.

Occasionally, startup problems are not the result of low battery voltage, fuel pump issues, or ignition problems. Sometimes the starter motor itself is the culprit, typically failing suddenly and without warning. ECS Offers this quality replacement from Valeo to get your vehicle back on the road! No core charge necessary.
