Go low. Aim high. Don't set yourself up for failure when you install your new cup kit. Order our complete coilover installation package, and do it right. Too many lowered cars end up being a big disappointment to their owners when worn suspension parts can't carry their own weight. Pads, mounts, and related mounting hardware can all cause annoying suspension noise and sloppy handling. Make sure the supporting cast in your suspension system will make the star of the show look as good on the road as it does in your driveway.

Countdown to launch. All systems go. Engage. Before your next stop light liftoff, add a space age digital system monitor to your cockpit. P3Cars Vent Integrated Digital Interface is a plug-and-play data display that "fits like factory" into the left side dash vent, in easy view of the pilot seat. Pop it in and plug it into your car's onboard diagnostic connector. Then scroll through critical vehicle parameters and monitor manifold pressure, system temperatures, and other vital stats. No programming, coding, cutting, or splicing. Just tons of fun.

Add a Euro look to your US spec MKV Golf or Jetta with European style projector headlights from Hella.

If you wish to utilize the leveling feature, you will have to install additional components and wire and code your car to enable them. Note: this is not required! It's easy. Plug in, switch on, and turn heads.

A brief survey of your local parking lot will quickly discover one main weakness in headlight lenses made from plastic. It doesn't take long for plastic lenses to go foggy and turn yellow, making your car look ancient. We have a solution: Pitch them and replace them with a fresh set! Brighter and more durable than the competitor, Bremmen Parts' affordable MKIV Jetta headlight lenses are clearly better than those jaundiced originals marring your car's appearance.

Check these out: we have Vaico diverter valves for your 1.8T Volkswagen. Keep your boost inside the intake where it belongs, and cure common driveability concerns with this stronger, more durable VW/Audi valve, suitable for stock or mildly tuned cars. Diverter valves live in a tough neighborhood. By definition, they limit turbo boost, and most eventually fail due to a pin hole or tear in the valve diphragm. Symptoms vary, but commonly include rough idle, a loss of power, or an illuminated check engine light. Easy to install, you'll need one sooner or later, so be prepared.

Your MKIV's headlights have probably seen better days. You could repair broken bits or polish the lens if that's the route you want to go. The only problem, however, is that they'll still be the same stock headlights. These headlights from Helix Automotive Lighting are designed to look like the European HID headlights from across the pond. While these headlights come plug-n-play ready with H7 hi/low beam bulbs, the housings are perfectly capable of handling an upgrade using your favorite aftermarket HID kit components (all you'd need is the ignitors, the ballasts, and the bulbs).

You've hit the jackpot with the Schwaben European Essentials Tool Set. Never again will you be cursing the unique fasteners on your European automobile. Instead, you'll take to the task like a conquistador of cars. The garage is your El Dorado. Featuring swivel-head triple-square bits, Torx screwdrivers, one hundred specialty fasteners and the sturdiest screwdriver set you'll lay hands on, this kit will make you feel like a king. Each tool rests in its own place in molded cases, helping you keep track of your investment. The Schwaben Essentials kit is worth its weight in gold.

We're excited; and with good reason. ECS Tuning proudly introduces our new line of premium, corrosion-resistant rotors: GEOMET®. GEOMET® is a special coating containing metal oxides, zinc, and aluminum flakes, sprayed over the entire rotor surface to ensure complete coverage, and baked on at 600 degrees to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust far better than paints or other conventional coatings. Slotted or drilled and slotted, you can expect your new GEOMET® rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your alloy wheels.

Our aluminum wheel hanger makes it easy to remove and install wheels. Just thread the hanger stud into a wheel bolt hole and hang the wheel safely while you rotate tires or remove them for service or vehicle repair. It's also great for keeping wheel bolt holes aligned on cars with spacers. Our improved hanger is made of 6061 aluminum, anodized for hardness and good looks. The knurled, non-slip handle has a drilled hole so you can hang it on a pegboard hook in your garage. Better still, order two: one for your garage and another for the emergency tool kit in your trunk.

You slammed your MKIV, and dropping the chassis has rolled the tires so far forward in the wheel wells they look like they're hiding. What to do? ECS Tuning introduces a simple solution with our new Wheel Centering Plates. Bolt these beefy spacers between your axle and chassis and coax the axle rearward so your tires sit where they belong, in the center of the wheel opening. Easy to install, our Wheel Centering Plates come as a complete installation kit, with hardened bolts and washers; our helpful installation video shows you how. ECS: Extremely Creative Solutions

Tired of chasing paper-thin aftermarket floor mats around your interior? Want a plush, durable mat set, with floor anchors and stylish piping? Then wiggle your toes in a set of Schwaben floor mats from ECS tuning. Our thick pile carpeted mats have the look and feel of original equipment, complete with waterproof rubber backing, and round retainers to keep them anchored. Available in black with black, gray, blue or red piping, or in gray, with black, gray or red piping, Schwaben floor mats are pleasing to the eye, and soothing under foot.

Knock, knock. Who's there? If your MKIV suspension is knocking, trust us, it's no joke. When your control arm bushings start clangin' and bangin', they're warning you that they need to be replaced. Problem is, most of us don't have access to the equipment needed to install fresh bushings in old control arms. That's why we're offering control arm assemblies already fitted with polyurethane bushings that tighten suspension feel, restore vehicle safety, and last many miles longer than stock rubber bushings.

Schwaben Go-Through Screwdrivers might at a glance appear to be functionally identical to those contained in other sets - upon further inspection, it becomes obvious that these tools are built to an exceedingly high build standard, and are uniquely designed for extreme durability. The Go-Through design means the metal driver shaft extends in through the handle of the tool, instead of dead-ending at the grip. This gives the driver a better weight, feel, and increases the effectiveness and durability of the tool.

Most of us have to admit to sleeping through a chemistry class--or two--after a rough night. The good news is the Chemical Guys didn't. Now they've put the power of Raw Science to work in a complete professional detailing car care line that combines surface-safe cleaners with lasting protectants and sealers. Stop squirting dish detergent into a bucket. Remove the toughest dirt, even from alloy wheels, and restore your car's exterior and interior finishes to a rich, lasting luster.

Car repair is dirty work, and sliding around in an oil spill is no fun. If you're tired of cleaning up spills with old socks and kitty litter, we have a new and better way. Pig Mat products have long been a favorite in professional repair shops that can't afford to track grease and oil onto costly car mats and carpeting. Made of durable, layered polypropylene, Pig Mats catch and hold most common fluid spills until you can throw them out. While you're here, check out our video on Form-A-Funnels, a great way to avoid spills in the first place.

Brake your car, without breaking the bank. Improve braking performance with an ECS Tuning Big Brake Kit. Bolt on larger rotors, standard finish or GEOMET slotted or slotted-and-drilled. Then mount your original calipers away from the spindle centerline with the kit's larger caliper frames for added mechanical leverage and shorter stops. No need to cough up extra bucks for a set of larger calipers, and you can go on buying readily available standard sized brake pads. Lower price. Less expense. Surer stops. Win. Win. Win.
