It’s no secret that Audi’s suffer from weak, failure prone front thrust arm bushings.  The stock rubber bushings are designed to allow significant fore/aft movement of the front wheels and absorb road impacts.  This compliant design maximizes daily driving comfort and helps add to the “luxury” feeling of your Audi, but it also contributes to the numb, disconnected feeling that many enthusiasts complain about with modern Audi’s.  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 steering 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 Thrust Arm Monoballs!  The ECS Engineering team set out to design a solution that offers far superior durability when compared to OEM, requiring no modification and offering nearly instantaneous cornering and braking response for the absolute best road feel and driving experience possible.  Our monoballs utilize a sealed OEM BMW M 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 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 steering precision, turn-in response, and direct braking feedback; all while maintaining exceptional comfort and durability levels making these an excellent no compromise upgrade even for a street car.  These thrust arm monoballs 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. There is still another advantage to upgrading your control arms to ECS monoballs. When installing the control arms you no longer have to have load on the car to tighten them down all the way, now everything can be done using a jack with the car in the air. Features: Ball Joint / monoball  OEM BMW M sealed, greased ball joint for exceptional durability and service life, even in the most severe operating conditions Housing Precision CNC machined from 6061-T6 Aluminum  Type II anodized housing for excellent corrosion resistance.   Proprietary designed knurled OD to provide the perfect fit for the wide range of thrust arm bore diameters among brands.  Bearing Inserts  CNC machined 304ss ball joint sleeve inserts, providing a precision fit between the ball joint and the subframe.  Performance  Nearly instantaneous, crisp steering and braking response.  Maintenance free, long lasting performance.   Improved road feel without undesirable NVH.

    ECS Tuning has the set the bar once again. After years of Research & Development and stringent product testing by our in house engineers, we are proud to release the best engineered Transmission Mount on the market! Designed and manufactured in the USA using the finest quality materials, we have designed a Performance Transmission Mount that controls fore/aft engine & transmission movement and allows for seamless power transfer to the tires. Wheel hop is eliminated, throttle response is improved and gear engagement is more precise. More than just an insert, our ECS transmission mount is a full unit replacement that upgrades the bushings to polyurethane and metal to strong, yet lightweight, billet aluminum for the ultimate in drivetrain control.  Locking the transmission in place is accomplished through two vertically captured 70A Durometer Polyurethane Bushings, encapsulated between three black anodized, 6061-T6 Billet Machined Aluminum bodies using a zinc-plated, high strength securing bolt.  Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) are minimized over our competitors due to years of product testing and development. Designed to absorb NVH while withstanding extreme driveline forces, we've engineered our bushings using an optimal formula and durometer polyurethane, tuning the natural frequency and preload to the forcing frequency of the engine.  This allows for smooth power delivery through the driveline and to the tires, all with very minimal chassis feedback to balance comfort with performance.   A powder-coated bent sheet metal bracket properly supports the factory battery tray, along with all new OEM torque-to-yield fasteners for a complete, ready to install package. Simply follow our helpful Installation PDF for installation notes and torque specifications.    **Please note that, while our design far exceeds the competition, the inherent nature of driveline feedback is transmitted through the gearbox, resulting in added NVH through the chassis of the vehicle** **Please note: Do not expose polyurethane bushings to engine coolant. Ethylene Glycol is known to degrade this material. If exposed promptly wipe away ALL traces of engine coolant.**  This Part Fits the Following Vehicles Make Model Submodel Engine Audi 8V S3 Quattro 2.0T Audi A3 8V FWD 1.8T Audi A3 8V FWD 2.0T Audi A3 8V Quattro 2.0T Audi A3 8V FWD TDI Volkswagen Alltrack All 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII Hatchback 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII Sportwagen 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII Hatchback 2.0T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII Hatchback TDI Volkswagen Golf VII Sportwagen TDI Volkswagen Golf VII Facelift FWD 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII Facelift FWD 2.0T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII R 4Motion 2.0T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII R Facelift 4Motion 2.0T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII SportWagen Facelift 4Motion 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII SportWagen Facelift FWD 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Jetta VII GLI 2.0T Gen3 *The above product applications have been written by ECS Tuning.

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 squishy, OEM 75A durometer shock mounts, the ECS void-free 85A durometer 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. OEM shock mounts are known to wear within 100k miles, typically associated with annoying pop and  rattles as the vehicle goes over bumps and uneven terrain. The ECS Heavy Duty Rear Shock Mounts are made to last, with their higher durometer over stock and precision to OE tolerances. The shock mount bodies are made of high quality cast aluminum and feature a black powdercoated finish for excellent corrosion resistance over the OEM mounts. Our HD Rear Shock Mounts were subjected to rigorous on and off the car testing. Through a very lengthy development process with tens-of-thousands of testing miles, several design revisions and many prototypes tested, our In-House Engineering Team perfected the Heavy Duty shock mount design to offer real world benefits to make this a complete solution to the common-failing mounts of the MK5/MK6 platform (and similar) vehicles.    Need new round bump stops and dust boots?

If you’re looking to improve the handling of your Audi B9, this is the best place to start! These cars have a lot more body roll than desired, and the stock sway bars don't quite do enough for most owners to be satisfied. Engineered, designed, and tested in-house at ECS Tuning, you know these sway bars are built to last with the highest quality. Larger diameter sway bars have a higher torsional spring rate which helps resist excessive body roll. By eliminating the excessive body roll and changing the stiffness of the sway bars front to rear, we can improve handling characteristics by reducing understeer and keep the tire in full contact with the ground.  By upgrading to the ECS Tuning Adjustable Front Sway Bar, you will experience less body roll, and a massive improvement to the handling characteristics of your vehicle, with virtually no sacrifice in ride quality.  In our testing with both bars installed, we found up to a 1.5° reduction in body roll!  Testing shows a significant and consistent increase in slalom speed of approximately 2 mph. On average there was a gain of ~0.5 seconds through the ~4.5 second total slalom run time. The slalom testing consisted of 5 gates spread 50’ apart. The increased stiffness gives the car a much more stable feel and allows the driver to stay consistent and in control: The sway bars are also adjustable, and allow for a “softer” setting, or a “stiffer” setting, depending on your driving preferences. Adjustable Front Sway Bar:  Design: 1.25” (31.75mm) OD, 0.120” (3.05mm) wall DOM (hollow) tubing Black powder coated for corrosion resistance 80A Durometer custom polyurethane greasable bushings - reduces flex at mount as compared to OEM rubber Grooved bushing inside diameter for improved grease retention Black anodized 6061-T6 billet brackets with check valve grease port Fully reversible back to factory components Performance: 58% stiffness increase on “soft” setting 68% stiffness increase on “stiff” setting Reduced body roll without excessive change in dynamic F/R balance Increased cornering speed and response time Works in unison with ECS 22mm rear sway bar Testing has shown up to a 1.5° reduction in body roll when both bars are installed Recommended use with ECS adjustable front sway bar end links   Adjustable Rear Sway Bar:  Design: 22.2mm OD solid steel bar Black powder coated for corrosion resistance 80A Durometer polyurethane greasable bushings - reduces flex at mount as compared to OEM rubber Grooved bushing inside diameter for improved grease retention Black anodized 6061-T6 billet brackets with check valve grease port Zinc coated class 12.9 hardware included for mounting brackets Fully reversible back to factory components Performance: 190% stiffness increase on “soft” setting 210% stiffness increase on “stiff” setting  Reduced body roll without excessive change in dynamic F/R balance Increased cornering speed and response time Testing has shown up to a 1.5° reduction in body roll when both bars are installed   *All testing shown was completed with both front and rear sway bars installed.  This Part Fits the Following Vehicles Make Model Submodel Engine Audi B9 A4 FWD 2.0T Audi B9 A4 Quattro 2.0T Audi B9 A5 Quattro 2.0T Audi B9 A5 Quattro 2.0T Sportback Audi B9 RS5 Quattro 2.9T Audi B9 S4 Quattro 3.0T Audi B9 S5 Quattro 3.0T Audi B9 S5 Quattro 3.0T Sportback Audi B9 S5 Quattro 3.0T Cabriolet *The above product applications have been written by ECS Tuning.

Adjustable sway bar end links allow you to lower your car without worrying about clearance issues between your sway bar and axles. As a vehicle is lowered, the sway bar and axle geometry is changed and can result in the sway bar contacting the axles and/or other components during suspension travel. The ECS Tuning Front Adjustable Sway Bar End Link Set allows for just under 2" of adjustability over the OEM component, allowing you to fine tune the suspension to your liking.  The main body is constructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and anodized red for corrosion protection. They feature machined hex wrenches at either side for easy on the car adjustments. Zinc black chromate lock nuts and wave washers secure the center body length to maintain adjustment height. Gray zinc coated heavy duty ball joint ends complete the connection from the sway bar to the chassis. The ball joint end includes weather resistant rubber boots with stainless steel wire retainers with the opposing side containing a red polyurethane bushing for added deflection resistance and extended durability against salt, rain and ozone impact.  Our ECS Sway Bar End Links were designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We ensured the highest level of precision and quality is delivered throughout rigorous long term product testing and leading edge product development methods. These are a must have for lowered suspensions or make for a high quality, heavy duty OE-replacement upgrade for stock suspensions. No matter if you're stock or lowered these can adjust to fit your needs.  They will not only stay looking great but give an improved feel over stock bushings. Instead of buying parts over and over, our kit allows you to use it on a stock vehicle now, and a modified car later.   **Please note, once desired length is set please add a few drops of blue Loctite to the threads of the jam nut to maintain a secured position.
