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.

The German TUV (Technical Inspection Association) has determined that in several European countries the clearance between fender and tire must be adequate to accommodate snow chains when safety requires. In North America, where no such law exists, GTI owners have the option of restoring Audi's original intention of providing a focused race-bred machine by widening their MKVI's stance, improving road-holding and performance aesthetics. Improve your stance appeal with the 10.5mm ECS spacers & appropriate-length bolts setup.

The factory springs on your VW were designed to exacting standards by some of the world's most talented engineers. Replacing this component requires careful consideration - especially if you're concerned with making a lasting improvement to your vehicle. These highly affordable suspension packages eliminate guesswork by combining full height adjustment at all four corners with matching dampers, engineered with fixed, pre-calibrated settings to improve ride quality.

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. Both conical and ball seat lug nuts are available for a maximum of 10mm or 20mm wheel spacer use.
