Lowering your vehicle provides several proven advantages in handling performance. Many enthusiasts, however, ignore the issue of disadvantageous suspension geometry changes resulting from a lower ride height. Chief among these harmful effects are unwanted changes in camber angle. In order to maintain a consistent, performance-enhancing tire contact patch, the ability to control the camber angle is critical. ECS Adjustable Rear Control Arms allow for over 8 degrees of adjustment. Street & track enthusiasts will appreciate this needed measure of adjustability.

Volkswagen has distinguished itself as a company by acquiring successful brands and cultivating a design and engineering philosophy that permeates each company under the VW name.

Both Hyper Silver and Gunmetal finishes suit the complex, yet tasteful wheel, conveniently available as a set of four.

The symptoms are annoying. The costs can be painful. DISA valves control intake manifold runner length to improve engine performance at different rpm. When they fail, the DISA valve bangs around in its housing, making a rattling noise accompanied by rough idle and off-idle hesitation. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it. In some cases, parts of the DISA--including a metal spreader pin--can be sucked into your engine, causing serious engine damage. Easy to replace, your new DISA screws to the side of the intake and comes with pre-installed sealing gasket.

Within the wishbone suspension design, camber and caster are specified by the wishbones, while toe-in is secured by the trailing arm. Bushings support the trailing arms, securing them to the chassis. Over time, the trailing arm bushings wear down, leaving toe-in under-regulated and suspension geometry altered. Every facet of handling performance is harmed, making the driving experience unpredictable and imprecise. A clever and simple solution to trailing arm deflection is the ECS Trailing Arm Bushing Limiter Set, a brilliant investment for all E36 3 Series owners.

Replacing cooling system components will ensure a long life for your cooling system. Most of the cooling system components are exposed to very high temperatures and repeated thermal cycling. Heat-hardening causes warping and cracking that leads to coolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. Avoid headaches altogether and replace all problematic items at once to keep your cooling system running efficiently.

The most popular spring in H&R's line-up, Sport Springs will lower your MINI an average 1.3" in front and 1.2" in the rear for a lower center of gravity, improved handling, and a more aggressive appearance.
