Upgrading your MK5 or MK6 with a Front Mount Intercooler is an effective way to decrease charge-air temperatures and increase performance potential but that also requires you to retain the original intercooler since that carries the A/C condenser, radiator, and fan shroud. Naturally, that reduces the airflow to your bigger intercooler and robs you of optimal efficiency. Our new OEM Intercooler Delete Brackets allow you to ditch that old intercooler while retaining your radiator, condenser, and fan shroud for a sleek, lightweight, and free-flowing performance intercooler upgrade.

ECS Performance Ignition Coils are an excellent upgrade for vehicles of all performance levels. These direct plug-and-play coils provide greater discharge energy over factory ignition coils for a stronger and more consistent spark. The attractive red housing with ECS Tuning etched resin compliments any engine bay. If you are replacing any aspect of your ignition system, it's best to replace all serviceable components. By doing so, your ignition system will work in better harmony, freeing up hidden horsepower and raising fuel economy. Skim the ECS Tuning ignition area under your model for spark plugs and more to get your vehicle into top shape.

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. This coating also eliminates the light oiling many manufactures utilize to avoid flash rust while rotors are stored or in transit: this means there's no cleaning or scuffing required to install ECS V5 plain rotors, making brake services quicker than that with uncoated rotors. Our V5 slotted rotor design provides excellent heat dissipation thanks to reduced pad out-gassing, meaning reduced brake fade. 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. Our V5 cross drilled and slotted rotor design offers even greater heat dissipation and improved wet-weather performance as compared with a slotted rotor, making it an ideal choice for high-performance driving enthusiasts. 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. Pick the perfect set of pads, ranging from OEM replacement style to higher performance pad options. If you are looking for a specific brand or compound to get that extra edge on the track, contact our sales team today to discuss alternative pad options! All service kits include a care package that contains our stainless steel rotor set screws and two packages of brake grease so your installation goes smoothly!

If you live in an apartment or you can't get your car up on ramps or stands but want to change your oil, then this is exactly what you need. This tool enables you to drain from the dipstick tube and refill like normal, without getting under the car or fighting with drain plugs. Not only is it convenient it's also efficient: most cars leave oil in the pan when being drained from the plug�sometimes up to a half quart. The extractor, however, can reach this remaining broken down fluid to make room for even more uncontaminated lubricant. Extract the extra work from the job.

For many, driving a stick shift is more than just a rite of passage: it represents an understanding that some things are just better left to the driver and an unwillingness to relinquish any control over the driving experience. We feel the most connected to our cars when we change gears, so the first place to make that connection even stronger is right there on the shifter.  Our brand new Weighted Shift Knobs for your Audi or VW manual transmission are designed with the sentiments of connection, engagement, and satisfaction placed at the forefront of their development.

ECS decided that just because your car doesn't have a third pedal you shouldn't have to be stuck with the factory shift knob. This shift knob is made of forged carbon to give it a unique look compared to the other non three pedal shift knobs on the market. Installation is simple and utilizes set screws so you can maintain your factory shifter release mechanism. Instead of pressing the button on the factory knob you lift up on the collar on the bottom of the knob to put the vehicle into gear. For installation you simply to remove your shift surround and remove the old shift knob then use the supplied pieces in the kit to maintain your shift release mechanism functionality.

It’s no secret that Volkswagen's suffer from weak, failure prone rubber trailing arm bushings. The stock rubber bushings are designed to allow significant movement of the rear wheels and to absorb road impacts. This compliant design maximizes daily driving comfort and helps add to the “luxury” feeling of your VW, but it also contributes to the numb, disconnected feeling that many enthusiasts complain about with modern cars. Not only is the OEM design far from ideal for the street or racing enthusiast that is looking for optimal handling and braking performance, the constant twisting and deflection required of the rubber bushing often causes premature failure, resulting in degraded handling, wheel shimmy, delayed turn-in response, delayed braking response, unwanted alignment change, and poor tire wear. For the rest of us who enjoy seeing what our car is made of, these types of bushing simply won’t cut it. Introducing the new ECS Tuning Rear Trailing Arm Monoball Bushings! The ECS Engineering team set out to design a solution that offers a far superior bushing when compared to OEM, requiring no modification and offering nearly instantaneous cornering, accelerating and decelerating response for the absolute best road feel and driving experience possible. Our monoball bushings utilize a sealed OEM Mercedes-Benz ball joint for exceptional quality and durability. The bearing assembly is precision CNC machined from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum and features a knurled OD to ensure a perfect press fit and the longest lasting component life possible. By utilizing a sealed ball joint, ECS achieved the ultimate in terms of low friction no bind suspension travel with no unwanted deflection, providing exceptional cornering response, and prompt acceleration and deceleration feedback; all while maintaining exceptional comfort and durability levels making these an excellent no compromise upgrade even for a street car. These trailing arm monoball bushings are a must have for any track car, but are also completely street-able and are a great upgrade for any enthusiast that enjoys spirited driving.

APR Ignition Coils are designed to be a direct plug-&-play upgrade to factory coils, & provide greater energy output, ensuring a stronger & more consistent spark. The commonplace replacement of factory ignition coils with those taken from higher output Audi RS models, such as the 2.5T, is popularly believed to provide greater energy output. However, testing proves that they are no more powerful than the factory coils that are found on 1.8T and 2.0T engines. APR Ignition Coils increase energy output by 10%. They are a direct upgrade or replacement, & come with the coveted red housing.

HPA Motorsports provides no-compromise, proven, and tested performance parts for your VW or Audi.

Remember the days of old fighting games when you�d hit the ol� Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start combo for a bunch of extra lives so you could beat the game stress-free? Sometimes, that�s more fun than doing it on hard-mode. Why work harder when you can work smarter? That�s what we did. We're ready to help one of you lucky enthusiasts unlock a real-life cheat code: this BMW F22 M240i 6spd powered by the already legendary B58 paired with an M Performance LSD.

For vehicles with factory direct tire pressure monitoring sensors only The Foxwell TPMS sensor integrates 315MHz and 433MHz dual frequency and can replace more than 96% of the OEM sensors on the market. Sensors can easily be activated and programmed by any TPMS tool on the market.

The factory rear subframes in the VW MK5, MK6, and MK7 are perfectly capable of withstanding everyday commutes but are woefully ill-prepared to handle beefier sway bars, stiffer suspension components, and aggressive driving. We found a sturdier solution: With the ECS Rear Subframe Brace you can reinforce the subframe at the sway mounting points to ensure the added pressures of hard driving and stiffer components will be deflected through our brace rather than deflecting the rear subframe.

With a high-strung S54 inline six under the hood, a manual 6-speed transmission, LSD rear end, and competent suspension, the E46 M3 is a great platform out of the box.
