New ECS Rear Stress Bars For Your MK7
Our ECS Tuning Rear Stress Bar Kit stiffens the chassis in the rear of your MK5/6 in the area most prone to chassis flex during hard cornering or changes in road surfaces. Our Stress Bar helps to stiffen the rear chassis from undesired torsional flexing of the body which allows for faster turn-in speed and flatter cornering, while reducing chassis creaks and groans. Our Rear Stress Bar Kit achieves all of these great benefits while maintaining functionality with the rear seatbacks in all positions, & no noticeable increase in NVH.

New ECS V5 Rotors for your MK8 GTI
Choose between our plain geo-spec coated, slotted zinc coated, or cross drilled and slotted zinc coated rotor designs! Our V5 plain rotor design is perfect for daily drivers looking for a reliable and affordable brake rotor option, and features a durable GeoSpec; silver-colored coating, which offers superior corrosion protection versus a painted or zinc coated rotor.

Slotting also reduces glazing, meaning consistently increased overall stopping power. Our 5th generation slotted brake rotor also features a sleek black zinc coating for a clean, contemporary look as well as superior corrosion protection versus an uncoated or black oxide coated rotor.
