If you're beginning to notice oil drips on the ground, a burning oil smell or smoke from underneath the hood, a leaking valve cover gasket may be the culprit. A common gasket to leak on Mercedes engines, the valve cover gasket is nothing to ignore. Don't forget to always replace the camshaft tensioner gasket at the same time as these are also prone to leaking. A small amount of RTV silicone is not included, but recommended in several transitional areas of the cylinder head valve cover rail.

Your rear differential is the last stop in a spectacular sequence of powerful oscillations, gyrations, and vibrations - all in the pursuit of turning chemical energy into kinetic energy.

Small pleasures make life fun. Take your MINI; small in size, big on looks. Why not sprinkle a little added flavor over that small pleasure with a set of bright white LEDs for the front position lights. This is another bright idea from Ziza.

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.

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 GTI's styling and performance needs.

While the BMW E9X M3 is capable of sustained, high-performance driving, its suspension system is not without flaws. Specifically, the rear trailing arm fitted to these models has a tendency to fail without symptoms, potentially leaving you stranded without a critical suspension component. ECS has solved this issue with a meticulously engineered Performance Rear Trailing Arm, made from aluminum & better designed to withstand the demands placed on it. Not only is the unit more robust & dependable than the factory unit, it's also lighter, reducing unsprung weight.
