ECS Exact-Fit stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and dependable stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure. Even when new, factory style fabric mesh lined rubber hoses are prone to expansion under the pressure of hard braking, whether it be highway panic stops or threshold braking at the track. Our lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, affording expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel.

Chassis strengthening is a technique used by the most discerning, experienced car enthusiasts.

Constructed of heavy wall 1" diameter steel tubing and featuring heavy duty tig welded ends, the Rear X-Brace Stress Bar Reduces chassis flex and creaks and removes in minutes.

A smart way to make power for your AMG is by utilizing the effective heat-shielding factory air box and dropping in a freer-flowing air filter element. By retaining the functionality of the factory air intake system and removing the highly inefficient paper filter element, your engine can breath easier while resisting the heat soak that aftermarket intake systems fall prey to. ECS offers only the most effective, test-proven Performance Air Filters for your AMG, with products by AFE, Pipercross, and K&N available.
