If you are adding power in your VW or Audi, you need to improve your ability to stop. Upgrading your brakes to our new 320x10mm Rear Big Brakes adds to your stopping power and changes the brake bias to a more favorable distribution. These larger brakes are designed to help your Audi or VW tackle corners confidently with higher brake force when combined with a front BBK. These big brakes are perfect for a budget-minded performance enthusiast by giving you increased stopping power without the cost of traditionally expensive BBK conversion kits.

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.

An elegant solution to vague and imprecise steering, performance control arms with poly bushings let you feel the road through your fingertips. Factory rubber bushings are intended to buffer road sensations from steering input. For performance drivers a highly tactile connection to the road conveys more information about vehicle dynamics and sharpening driving awareness. We offer control arm assemblies already fitted with poly bushings that tighten suspension feel, restore vehicle safety, and last many miles longer than stock bushings.

Modern roads are not very modern in terms of their quality, as they are littered with holes and debris that can damage the underside of your vehicle. If you want to give your Volkswagen it's own bulletproof vest, pick up a MK4 Steel Skid Plate. The stock plastic belly pan did little to protect the underside of your car. It served its function but, let's face it, an underside plate should do more than that. These plates will offer more protection while offering quality ventilation.

ECS has developed a range of excellent solutions to sloppy, imprecise shift action and clutch feel for your VW. Factory rubber clutch hoses are prone to expansion under the pressure of hard driving and clutch engagement. This expansion can cause the clutch to not disengage properly, making gear changes difficult during quick shifting. ECS Tuning Exact-Fit Clutch Hoses are engineered and assembled with braided stainless steel mesh, offering superior expansion resistance and reinforcement. The resistance to expansion creates a firmer, more direct pedal feel.

Diverter valves live in a tough neighborhood. By definition diverter valves limit turbo boost, and in most cases eventually fail due to a pin hole sized tear in the valve diaphragm. It's for this reason that ECS now supplies an unparalleled range of superb Performance Diverter & Blow Off Valves. All of the most prominent brands are represented - CTS, ECS, Forge, APR, HKS, and EuroSport kits all feature boost-hardy internals tough enough to take the pressure without blowing their lids. Each unit works and plays well with your MK4 1.8T engine management system.

The improved late-style center console for the MK4 used three, easy-clean cup holders that were better positioned to avoid spills.

The direct-fit kit easily bolts into the existing console location, and is perfectly color matched to the factory interior. Good looks. Added function. Hot coffee that stays where you put it.
