Most new performance cars could use a more athletic, performance-purposed wheel fitment. Not only does widening a car's track width decrease body roll through turns & make better use of available grip, but the new uninterrupted line from the wheel arch to the tire makes for a cleaner rear & front profile. ECS Flush Kits include the most cleverly engineered, highest quality spacers available, specifically matched to your Audi B8 A4's styling and performance needs.

ECS Tuning's lug bolts are identical to your Porsche's factory bolts, with one distinction; a subdued black zinc coating that looks good and prevents corrosion. Hide away the lug bolts and let the design of your wheels hit the forefront. Our bolts feature a 19mm bolt head, factory spherical ball seat, and Porsche-spec hardware grade for your Boxster S. ECS Tuning black zinc lug bolts come in numerous lengths, allowing you to fine-tune your wheel fitment with ECS Tuning wheel spacers. Offered in kits or individually.

The E53 X5 3.0i has proven to be very solid vehicle with exceptional styling, but there is one issue for the M54 3.0L engine, the DISA valve. This particular valve controls the path of air into the intake manifold - this is why the most common sign of failure is poor idling. When you have idling problems, low fuel mileage and a lack of reliable performance are usually part of the problem as well. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it.

Why use wheel studs instead of wheel bolts? When removing and installing wheels that utilize the factory wheel bolts, the process can be frustrating. Holding the wheel up with your legs, lining up the holes, and threading the bolts all at the same time - there must be an easier method. Four wheel conversion kits are available with 20 56mm studs and 20 ball-seat lug nuts, while two wheel conversions are also available with either 56mm or 70mm studs, and include 10 ball-seat lug nuts.

Over time, it is common for the BMW E46 328i/Ci to develop weak spots in the rubber and plastic components, making them prone to clogging, cracking, or bending - leading to performance loss. ECS Tuning has developed two kits to help take care of one of the most common areas to suffer from these symptoms. A very poorly functioning Oil Separator Hose can let small amounts of water into your system, leading to freezing in the winter time. ECS kits will give you a complete refresh on parts that can become clogged from years of oil vapor running through.

Whether your factory turbo is failing, or you are just interested in upgrading to a more performance-oriented turbocharger system, the ECS assembled K04 Turbo and High Flow Manifold Kit contains all essential hardware and gaskets for a thorough, professional-quality installation. The ATP manifold is capable of flowing 50% more air, feeding the more robust, BorgWarner Turbo. Power gains are felt strongest at the top of the rpm range, where air flow rates are most restricted by the factory setup.

KW V1 Series Coilovers have been engineered with a damping setting that perfectly suits the MINI R56, while allowing the driver the flexibility to choose a variety of ride heights. KW "inox-line" coilovers feature stainless steel technology that is superior to galvanizing, better resisting corrosion while maintaining smooth operation over the long term. V1 Series coilovers also utilize trapezoidal threading to facilitate height-adjustment and increase load tolerance. An average lowering of 1.2 - 2.2 inches can be expected at both the front and rear.

If you're looking for premium quality brake rotors with world class corrosion protection, look no more. 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, it 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 and heat. In the end, GEOMET was the clear winner. GEOMET rotors make stopping a styling statement.
