When you take a corner at speed, what typically happens? The body of the car rolls as you turn, which is downright terrible for performance. A sway bar is a torsion spring that resists body roll motions. Sway bars provide two main functions. The first function is the reduction of body lean. The other function of anti-roll bars is to tune the handling balance of a car. Understeer or oversteer behavior can be tuned out by changing the proportion of the total roll stiffness. Keep your car level in the corner with a new stabilizer bar from H&R, JOM, or Neuspeed.

Tire pressure monitoring is a convenient feature - when it's working properly. Too often, when the tire pressure light illuminates in your BMW, the cause has nothing to do with the pressure inside your tire.

ECS offers replacement Tire Pressure Sensors, sold individually or as a set of four. After installation, simply navigate to the TPM screen to clear the light from your dash.

Plastic coolant connections are consistently subjected to heat shock, corrosive substances, & chemical degradation. Considering the importance of adequate engine cooling, coolant fitting upgrades are always a wise investment. ECS has brought you a cast-aluminum replacement for the plastic coolant split pipe on the 337/20th. This highly failure-prone fitting can be responsible for a sudden, major coolant leak – over-heating engine internals, causing catastrophic damage. The ECS coolant split pipe will withstand excessive abuse, restoring faith in your cooling system.

Whenever pushing your car past the factory-designated limits of operation, whether it be through hard driving or performance modifications, adequate engine cooling should always be a high concern. In fact, improving performance by increasing engine work is only possible when engine temperatures are kept within a reasonable range. The Mishimoto Performance Radiator is capable of a 35% increase in cooling capacity due to a fully-brazed, two-row aluminum core that's 25% thicker than stock. The direct-fit radiator also uses CNC-machined quick-disconnect fittings for perfect fitment.

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 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. GEOMET rotors make stopping a styling and performance statement.

Keeping the oil inside your engine is paramount to engine health and longevity. If there is a leak that you're not aware of, your oil can dip to dangerous levels.

ECS offers complete Valve Cover Gasket and Chain Tensioner Seal Kits for your Audi B6 A4 1.8T for a thorough servicing of these critical components.
