Corrosion is the Kryptonite that kills common brake rotors. Untreated cast iron rusts quickly, leaving ugly red scale in full view, especially annoying on cars with alloy wheels. ECS Tuning has the cure. Available in slotted or slotted/drilled applications, our GEOMET® brake rotors are specially treated to resist rust. Their tough baked-on coating provides far better corrosion resistance than conventional paints or coatings. Count on GEOMET® rotors to keep their new look far longer, even in tough road conditions.

Your Mercedes-Benz transmission is a collection of parts that must each be functionally sound for the gearbox to do its job.

Choose from premium ECS-assembled and genuine OEM packages - each including Automatic Transmission Fluid, Filter, Oil Pan Drain Plug and Sealing Washer, Dipstick Tube Cap Lock Pin, and Pan Gasket.

BMWs are well known for their superior handling - often times, drivers don't notice the gradual failure of critical suspension components for this very reason.

Symptoms of a bad bearing are noisy rubbing as the car is driven and that usually gets louder as speeds increase. If you are having these issues, and dont have a press, ECS offers are complete hubs.
