More air available means more potential power - it's for this simple reason that an easy-to-install performance intake from ECS should be first on your list of engine upgrades for your MKVII.

Place a little leading-edge engineering under your hood with the newest APR Carbonio Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake, proven to raise power output and while enhancing engine bay aesthetics in the process. Manufactured from aerospace-grade carbon fiber, the advanced intake system is an exceptionally light and strong system that minimizes intake temperatures.

The lowered ride height achieved by upgrading your factory suspension is a consequence of the modification, not its purpose. The ST-line Performance Coilovers utilize tempered high-strength springs, hardened chrome piston rods, and galvanized zinc-plated strut housings - a consequence of which is a powerful, aggressive stance. But the enduring value of this arrangement lay in its durability, reliability, and strict adherence to precise engineering. Featuring adjustable damping and aluminum adjustable front camber plates, average lowering is 1.2-2.2"F, 1.2-2.2"R.

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.

See and feel the difference with ECS Tuning 2-Piece rotors. Lightweight aluminum hats paired with cross-drilled and slotted cast-iron friction provide the best of both worlds in braking performance. Aluminum reduces inertial mass, improving steering feel, acceleration, and deceleration. Cast iron has immense thermal capacities and great wear characteristics. 2-Piece semi-floating construction ensures the two materials work together in concert. What does this mean? Traffic-stopping looks and fade-free stops, every time
