Engine vibrations felt inside the cabin are actual palpable indications of mechanical losses in power efficiency. Every shudder felt through the chassis and transmission represents a misdirection of power that should be routed to the wheels of the vehicle. For this reason, ECS Tuning has labored tirelessly to engineer the most finely crafted high-performance polyurethane engine and drivetrain mounts available for your Audi. Featuring 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum anodized housings with tuned polyurethane isolators, DIY'ers will have no problem replacing the mounts themselves.

Accessory upgrades don't come any easier than this. The Hella smoked high brake light assembly takes less time to install than brewing a pot of coffee. Use a non-marring trim removal tool to pop out the old light. Then plug in the new assembly, and snap it in place. The clear smoked lens in the Hella light adds a subtle styling change; quick response LEDs burn bright red in a fraction of a second when you hit the brakes to keep tailgaters at bay. This subtle but noticeable upgrade perfectly matches the design of the VW MKV Rabbit.

Guesswork is expensive. It leads to costly repair errors that compromise vehicle safety. Talented pro-sumer or repair professional, you need accurate vehicle data and specifications.

These exceptional DVD-ROMs are carefully edited and illustrated - A worthwhile investment for your Audi D3 A8.

The conductor plate in the W203 722.6xx transmission valve body generates a signal that controls the pressure relief valves and shifting control valves. A poorly functioning plate can present fault codes as well as inconsistent shift behavior.

Genuine Mercedes-Benz and quality aftermarket replacement options are available, helping you easily avoid these catastrophic consequences.

Lowering your vehicle provides several proven advantages in handling performance. Many enthusiasts, however, ignore the issue of disadvantageous suspension geometry changes that result from a lower ride height.

In order to maintain a consistent, performance-enhancing tire contact patch, the ability to control the camber angle is critical. SPC Upper Control Arms allow for +/-1.5° Camber and/or Caster change for your B7 A4. Street & track enthusiasts will appreciate this needed measure of adjustability.
