ECS Tuning


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!

NEW ECS DD23 Brake Pads MINI Coopers

Upgrades and replacements that are a must for your MINI Cooper!If you find yourself “pumping the brakes” over the brake pad selection process for your daily driver, your answer is this DD23 pad. This is the one!

As a team of enthusiasts who own all types of European cars, we have the advantage of the exposure that comes with the enthusiast lifestyle - and have a strong understanding of what makes a great brake pad. In the pursuit of a really great brake pad for daily driving, we’ve tested a wide range of brake pads. After thousands of test miles, iterating through a variety of pad compounds, we’ve landed on the ideal blend for our DD23 Daily Driver pad.

Features:

• Good stopping power - Brake pads need to stop your car, period, so this is key. We focused on selecting a compound that offers a healthy level of friction (both when hot and when cold) for safe, positive stopping power.
  
• Positive initial bite - You should feel your brakes engage as you press the pedal, but it should not feel like an on/off switch! Ceramic compounds frequently lack the confidence-inspiring engagement of a healthy initial bite, but the semi-metallic DD23 does not, while giving your passengers a comfortable ride in stop-and-go traffic. We’ve hit a good balance here.
  
• Low-dust (but not no-dust) - Some factory-installed pads are eye-poppingly dusty, which is a no-go for us. While some would instead opt for a ceramic pad for its lighter-colored dust, this dust is just as likely to show up on darker colored calipers and wheels. We’ve improved on the “dust factor” as a good compromise, which will be a win for anyone who doesn’t detail daily (or anyone who does, too!)
  
• Quiet braking - It’s not a race pad, so it shouldn’t squeal like one. DD23 is comfortable and quiet - both on the ears and in lack of vibration transmitted through the cabin.
  
• Long life - This should be an obvious one. Your daily driver pads should last and last, so that was key in selecting our ideal compound. They are kind to rotors, too (no accelerated wear characteristics) for many miles of motoring.
  

DD23 Daily Driver brake pads are included in our Lifetime Replacement Program for worry-free motoring. Our Lifetime Replacement Program is that little something extra, the voice saying “I’m good! I won’t let you down! But if I do, I’m going to make things all better.” Trust us - you’ll be satisfied.
