Premium Exact-Fit lines from ECS Tuning, are made of special materials, unlike stock brake hoses made of synthetic rubber (EPDM) surrounded by fabric mesh reinforcement that is then encased in another layer of rubber. The core of an ECS Tuning Exact-Fit line on the other hand is made of extruded PTFE. Stronger than rubber, PTFE swells less under pressure, is flexible and durable, and is unaffected by chemicals that can damage EPDM hoses, including petroleum-based fluids. DOT Compliant Stainless Brake Lines.

Make your BMW go where you aim it. ECS has developed a series of kits to repair or restore your suspension and steering. Whether your E30 is suffering from battered ball joints, bashed bushings, or tired tie rod ends, we'll help you rein it in and head it in the right direction again. Front Kits and Rear kits come in 2 stages depending on your particular needs.

ECS Black Out Grille Sets are distinguished by their full matte black ABS plastic construction. This design means that any chips or scratches on the grille will not reveal a white surface underneath black paint, as the parts are integrally black. Engineered to exact OEM dimensions for precise fitment into the BMW E9x M3, these grilles are available in a carbon fiber-look, gloss black, or matte black finish.

Looking to improve your vehicle's handling characteristics without spending massive amounts of money? If so, this new ECS Strut Tower Brace is perfect for you. A strut brace is designed to reduce strut tower flex by tying two parallel strut towers together. This transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering, resulting in reduced chassis flex. The show-quality brace is made of steel and mounts to your VW with stainless steel hardware. With only 4 bolts holding it in place it's an easy install. Once in place, it will seem like you have a whole new VW.

The belly pans fitted to modern Audis have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts. Many enthusiasts have chosen to run their cars without the protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine & drivetrain components. ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, 4mm thick 5052 aluminum, with included steel hardware, offering complete engine undercarriage protection weighing in at only 11.5 lbs.

Transmission fluid and filter changes remove harmful dirt and metallic particles to head off automatic transmission failures and expensive repairs. A fresh filter with new fluid renews and improves shift quality and performance, while new gaskets resist corrosion and seal off critical components. Both kits include a new transmission filter and o-ring, pan gasket, filler plug and seal, drain plug and seal, and 9 quarts of transmission fluid for a complete fluid change.

Doing a cooling system refresh, or just replacing worn out and soft old hoses? Why settle for stock when you can get the added life and heat tolerance of silicone hoses? The ECS Silicone Radiator Hose Kit retains OEM fitment while resisting heat that softens the factory hoses. All hoses come in advanced 3-ply black silicone.

The MKIV Jetta 2.0L is especially responsive to airflow modifications because of its restrictive factory airbox - small changes in air density can effect huge changes in engine power & smoothness. The in-house engineered ECS XAS system uses a mandrel bent 76.2mm (3.0") diameter aluminum pipe and 4-ply silicone couplers, completely replacing the restrictive OE air box and intake snorkel. Because air is drawn primarily from outside the engine bay, intake air temperatures are cooler, increasing cylinder pressure for stronger engine operation.

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. The valve cover, chain tensioner, and camshaft seals are a common place for leaks. Years of extreme temperatures degrade the gaskets and cause failure. Replace yours to keep your engine leak free.

Forge has created a simple, easy to install part that allows your factory boost solenoid to vent excess boost to the atmosphere, much like a blow-off valve. The Blow Off Adapter simply bolts in between the electrical solenoid and turbocharger housing with three Allen bolts. Instead of recirculating excess charged air back into the turbo, the air is vented into the atmosphere through outlets in the adapter. The result is that hot air is not allowed to be reused by the turbo while the critical function of a diverter valve is retained, keeping the turbo spooling and reducing lag.

Poor idle, low fuel efficiency, and engine misfire codes are all symptoms of worn spark plugs. Over the years, the electrode wears away on spark plugs, causing too large of a gap and weak spark. Additionally, excess carbon can build up and bridge the gap to negatively effect performance. Replace yours with these units to regain your power, fuel efficiency, and smooth a poor idle.

Why use wheel studs instead of wheel bolts? When removing and installing wheels that utilize the factory wheel bolts, excessive, unnecessary wear is placed on the wheel hub itself. This premature wear on an expensive component is costly and difficult to repair. Wheel studs also allow the use of varying length wheel spacers - a highly convenient feature for those that anticipate using different spacer size setups in the future. Both conical and ball seat lug nuts are available for a maximum of 10mm or 20mm wheel spacer use.

GEOMET® is a special coating containing metal oxides, zinc, and aluminum flakes, sprayed over the entire rotor surface to ensure complete coverage, and baked on at 600 degrees to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust far better than paints or other conventional coatings. Slotted or drilled and slotted, you can expect your new GEOMET® rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your alloy wheels.

This is the oil separator and positive crankcase ventilation refresh kit. This kit includes the updated oil separator located on the cylinder head. This is a common area for oil leaks on the M272 engine. The oil separator allows the crankcase to safely vent air and stop oil from escaping during the process. If you are experiencing a loss of performance or a rough idle with the M272 V6 in your Mercedes-Benz, the PCV System/Oil Separator might be to blame.
