Few MKV Jetta owners know just how good the suspension setup was on their vehicle when it left the factory. Because of worn or failing suspension bushings and control arms, it's likely your VW displays vague, imprecise steering feel and handling - characteristics entirely foreign to Volkswagen's original intentions. ECS offers the Vaico Front Control Arm Kit, pairing ball joints and inner bushings with left and right suspension A-arms for a thorough front suspension refresh.

As accurate and responsive as the factory E36 steering and handling is, reliable and measurable improvements are possible through simple upgrades. The ECS Tuning Strut Bar is a lightweight aluminum addition to the factory BMW suspension design, increasing chassis rigidity and steering response. By connecting the left and right strut towers together, cornering forces are less likely to upset suspension geometry, resulting in a more predictable and precise driving experience.

The MKVI Golf R is noticeably more taught, agile, and precise in both handling and acceleration compared to its predecessor. Part of this success is due to a more aggressive suspension arrangement, something MKVI Golf R owners thoroughly enjoy. To really tighten up the Golf R's chassis, a beefier sway bar adds better lateral stability & even flatter cornering - an easy performance upgrade that is instantly noticeable and effective. Neuspeed, Racingline, ST, Autotech, and H&R solutions range from 22mm to 27mm according to your driving style.

Because of the location of the power window switches in most vehicles, they can be extremely vulnerable to damage.
