If you're looking for premium quality brake rotors with world-class corrosion protection, ECS has you covered. Unlike paints and other plated coatings, a new technology called GEOMET® takes corrosion protection to a new level. The GEOMET® formula combines metal oxides, zinc, and flakes of aluminum. Sprayed over the entire rotor surface, GEOMET® is baked at 600 degrees to form a hard, silver gray finish. Our in-house tests exposed plain, zinc-coated, and GEOMET® rotors to salt spray & heat. The results were stunning.

OEM transmission mounts are designed to maximize driver comfort by detaching the driver from the vehicle mechanics as much as possible.

The durable urethane Transmission Mount Insert fills the void at the mounting location, preventing premature bushing wear and undesirable transmission movement, all while transmitting minimal added noise and vibration to the cabin.

The breather, also commonly called the PCV or oil separator, allows the crankcase to expel air without losing any oil. This system is designed to give gases a way to escape in a controlled manner from the crankcase. Overtime, contamination may cause reduced airflow and cracks can occur in the housing. If your car is experiencing a loss in boost pressure or a decrease in performance with rough idle, the PCV assembly is a likely culprit.
