ECS Tuning Releases Big Brake Kits for Mk7 Golf and Golf GTI

Through in-house product testing and performance validation, the design team at ECS Tuning have put together affordable Big Brake Kits (BBK) for your MK7 Golf / GTI. The fronts, utilizing Genuine Volkswagen brake calipers from the MK5 R32 or B6/CC VR6 4Motion, you can instantly bolt on better braking and have confidence in the performance and reliability that these kits provide.

ECS 2-piece, semi-floating, slotted and cross drilled rotors are available. These rotors optimize the dispersion of heat, and feature lateral vibration dampening and considerable weight savings, for smooth, strong stops. Maximum weight savings over a standard one piece rotor are achieved due to the lightweight aluminum hat and 2 piece construction for a total reduction of 18.75 lbs combined for the fronts and 5.30 lbs combined for the rears, as compared to a standard one piece cast rotors.

With the ECS 345x30mm Front Big Brake Kit, the brake pad is moved further outboard from the center of the hub, thereby improving braking system torque, heat transfer and repeatable, high speed stopping. Compared to the original Golf’s 288x25mm or GTI’s 312x25mm brake rotors, it’s clear to see why the ECS BBK offers immediate improvements!

The ECS Rear Big Brake Kits convert the solid 272x10mm discs to ventilated 310x22mm discs for overall improved performance. To prevent brake pad deposits and reduce fade, ECS GEOMET® slotted or cross drilled and slotted rotors are available. Cross-drilling dissipates heat faster for better braking and reduced fade. Slotting cleans the pads by moving water, gasses, and contaminants away from the pad/rotor contact surface to further enhance braking performance.

To prevent rust pitting and corrosion damage, ECS GEOMET® rotors are sprayed with a special water-based solution, then heated to cure the coating and remove all oil residue remaining from the manufacturing process. These added steps create a durable, lasting rotor surface that resists road salt, solvents and other corrosives.
772550_x800
For 100% bolt on performance, ECS Exact Fit Stainless Steel brake lines have been custom fitted for each kit. Stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and dependable stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure compared to stock rubber lines.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen’s Gone to California with Grand California Camper

Volkswagen is bringing the California XXL concept to production. It will debut at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon as the Grand California. It’s set to be based on the medium wheelbase Crafter van. That’s the company’s full-size commercial van, larger than the T6 Transporter based California. The high roof means room for adults to stand up, though it won’t get the concept’s extended length. The Grand California offers a full wet bathroom. It’s not exactly spacious, though, measuring in at around 31.5 x 33-inches. A toilet, shower, and sink are all crammed into that space, but at least there are motion sensor lights to stop you from reaching for a switch. Standard, the Grand California it comes with berths for two adults. Space for two children is optional, but they’ll be stuck in a berth amove the driver’s area. The kitchen offers a sink, stove, and two fridges. The front seats swivel to add seating space when the RV is parked. It’s also got solar panels, an integrated satellite dish,...

Audi Teases A7 Details with New Video

Audi’s gearing up to unveil the latest iteration of the A7, and to get you excited they’ve released this teaser video focusing on the details. The lights, the lines, the interior are all teased here, and though on its own the video doesn’t give us a strong sense of what the whole car will look like, with all of the other details we’ve seen so far we now have a pretty good sense of what’s coming. As you might expect, the updated A7 will look broadly similar to the outgoing A7, but will differ in the details. Based on what we’ve seen, the changes look good. As was reported yesterday, we’re expecting a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo, a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, and an RS7 that could reportedly make up to 700 hp thanks to the Porsche Panamera’s hybrid drivetrain. We’ll know for sure, though, on Thursday, October 19, when the car is revealed. You can watch the livestream on our site or at audi.com at 2:00 pm.
