The ECS Heavy Duty Rear Shock Mount offers significant performance to your vehicle's handling and long term durability as compared to stock shock mounts. With the increased durometer over the OEM 50A foam-filled shock mounts, the ECS 80A durometer void-free rubber shock mounts will better resist deflection and premature wear that commonly plagues the OE mounts without sacrificing ride comfort. This is a must have if you are installing sport springs, coilovers or when replacing rear shocks.

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.

Don't wait for valves and pistons to bang heads in the dark. Avoid costly engine damage and catastrophic engine failure. The first symptom is noise in the timing system as the chains slap around due to worn tensioners and guides. Failed guides can cause the chains to jump, skip a tooth and potentially snap. Because the 2.0T is an interference motor, a snapped chain or one that has jumped a tooth means that valves can contact the pistons and cause catastrophic engine failure.
