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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Looking to improve your vehicle's handling characteristics without spending massive amounts of money? If so, this new ECS Strut Tower Brace is perfect for you. A strut brace is designed to reduce strut tower flex by tying two parallel strut towers together. This transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering, resulting in reduced chassis flex. The show-quality brace is made of steel and mounts to your VW with stainless steel hardware. With only 4 bolts holding it in place it's an easy install

The belly pans provided for modern Volkswagens have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts. Many enthusiasts have chosen to run their cars without this protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine and drivetrain components. ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, air-ventilated, 3/16” thick 5052 aluminum, with black zinc-coated steel hardware, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

Coil pack failures and engine misfires have been a chronic problem for many VW/Audi owners. The symptoms are predictable: the engine misfires and the check engine light illuminates steadily, or blinks. Ignore the problem and you'll ruin your expensive catalytic converter and fail your local emissions test. Replace your failed components or do it now before it's too late with our Ignition Service Kit.

Stock diverter valves just can't handle performance upgrades. Add a little boost and they get all weak in the knees and blow the diaphragm to pieces. . Forge knows this. That's why they've engineered boost-hardy diverter valves tough enough to take the pressure without blowing their lids. These are completely serviceable valves with an aluminum piston and o-ring seal, compared to the easily tearing rubber diaphragm found in the OEM valve. Includes 3 different springs to fine tune the valve to your liking!

Things getting a little flabby south of the hood latch? Is mashing on the "go" pedal producing wheel hop or worrisome driveline vibration? If your factory mounts have thrown in the towel, don't waste your time installing more of the same. Move up to tough and durable mounts and bushings from ECS Tuning. Made of premium aluminum, plated steel, and potent polyurethane, our mounts and bushings are made for anyone who wants something more than parts designed for "average" drivers

Premium Exact-Fit lines from ECS Tuning, are made of special materials, unlike stock brake hoses made of synthetic rubber (EPDM) surrounded by fabric mesh reinforcement that is then encased in another layer of rubber. The core of an ECS Tuning Exact-Fit line on the other hand is made of extruded PTFE. Stronger than rubber, PTFE swells less under pressure, is flexible and durable, and is unaffected by chemicals that can damage EPDM hoses, including petroleum-based fluids. DOT Compliant Stainless Brake Lines.

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.

Plastic coolant connections are consistently subjected to thermal cycling, and can weaken and become brittle with age. Considering the importance of adequate engine cooling, coolant fitting upgrades are always a wise investment. ECS has brought you a cast-aluminum replacement for the plastic coolant split pipe. This highly failure-prone fitting can be responsible for a sudden, major coolant leak – over-heating engine internals, causing catastrophic damage. The ECS coolant split pipe will withstand excessive abuse, restoring faith in your cooling system.
