ECS Corvette C5 Manual Trans / Rear Diff Brace
ECS Corvette C5 Manual Trans / Rear Diff Brace
Why would you want or need a ECS Trans / Rear Brace?
Ever launch your Corvette hard, and it feels like the wheels are hopping? That wheel hop is actually the Drive line of your Corvette Shaking. In the C5 and C6 Corvette the transmission essentially “floats” in the driveline. It is not mounted to the chassis whatsoever. The Engine is mounted to the front cradle via the engine mounts and the rear end to the rear chassis. Both Factory mounts are rubber, and allow a certain amount of movement – especially under hard launches. This movement is felt, and usually explained as wheel hop and it can do some serious damage to your car!
So what does a ECS Trans Brace Do?
The ECS Trans / Rear Brace gives added rigidity to the entire driveline by tying the trans and rear together as a complete, more rigid unit. The ECS Trans Brace is made from top quality materials. Front and rear mounts are fabricated from laser coated, zinc coated steel with stainless steel hardware and aluminum tension rods to ensure a long lasting, rust free finish. The tension rods are turned from billet aluminum with high quality stainless steel heim joints with stainless steel hardware. The aluminum rod design provides increased strength, with heat expansion principles that match that of the aluminum transmission and differential.
The entire kit is easily installed or removed while using a lift or jack stands while the driveline is in the car. Lowering of the sub-frame is necessary for easier access to the M6/M12/A4 transmission brackets and is designed to be a true, bolt-on installation kit that can be installed in a few hours using regular, commonly found metric/SAE hand tools. There is also no driveline vibration/noise resonated into the passenger compartment/cabin of any kind and interior sound levels are unaffected by the brace.
Exactly what i needed ! And super fast , professional service! Will be using this vendor again for future products! 10 star rating if it were possible !
I bought coil overs for my c5 drift car and of equal importance was the technical support and discussion on spring rates that I was able to have with Brian. He moved quickly to get my product out the door, no time wasted. I’d go back to these guys over anyone else selling a similar product for the excellent customer experience.
Got a ECS trans brace and silvers coilovers from Brian. Great seller. Fast shipping. Great experiance
High quality product, fast shipping. Brian is very helpful and informative when ordering parts. 10/10 recommend this brace!
Great customer service, quick shipping. Will be ordering from again.
Let customers speak for us
from 187 reviewsHad a lot of drivetrain flop in the C5 I picked up. Ordered these as I was doing long tubes and they would be easy to access. Massive improvement over stock and hardly any increase in NHV. Now no more drivetrain flop and significantly reduced wheel hop. Will be doing the AMT diff mount next.
Picked this up because my stock radiator had a hairline crack on the end tank. A lot of the older posts on Facebook said fitment wasnt great but I figure at less than half the price of the D brand I'd risk it. Fitment was absolutely perfect. The condenser and fans slid right into place better than OEM. Quality and welds are on par with the Koyo Radiators I have in other cars that cost significantly more.
Radiator keeps the car much much cooler than the stock unit. Hardly ever seeing higher than 210F unless Im in heavy traffic and higher ambient temps.
10/10 would absolutely recommend this to anyone needing a new radiator or looking for an upgrade.
This was my second purchase from FIPERFORMANCE and I must say I appreciate the fast shipping and notifications of order status. I installed this yesterday and it was pretty straightforward but the video and instructions explain the process well. I habe the AMT motor mounts too and so far I don't feel any increased NVH. The rearend feels tighter (havent tried launching yet) but I don't know if its just me but the shifting seems smoother too. I have an MGW with 2 washer venom mod and it felt good before but it seems its more positive now but not rachety. Overall awesome piece of well made equipment. Thanks again
Communication was great and shipping was lightning fast!
Every time I order anything from Brian he goes above and beyond! You aren't just buying parts from him you are buying a great experience with someone who understands customer service! The alternator was perfect and was installed with zero issues. My car had zero issues with the battery warrning indicator after the install which is typical with tge c5.
Purchased the ECP Radiator for my C5 Z06, haven’t installed it yet but I can say this is one of the best looking radiators I’ve seen in a long time, weld quality and attention to details is amazing. I’m excited to get this radiator installed!
Thanks Brian for a great product!!
I was able to install these in a day and am very happy with the results. Ride is even smoother than the factory F55 mag ride. Handling is unbelievable with sticky 200tw tires. Love the adjustable height and damping. Brian was great answering my questions. I am completely satisfied with this purchase. It is a true upgrade from the stock suspension, no placebo effect here.
I ordered a set of Silver's Neomax coilovers for my C5 Z06. The order shipped out quickly and I received emails from Brian every step of the way to include tracking information which was very appreciative. I also received an in-depth installation guide and Brian even followed up with a text message to confirm everything went well so the customer service has been outstanding to say the least. I have not installed the items yet as I'm waiting for a few other things to come in but so far they appear to be top-notch and I'm looking forward to having them installed. I will definitely be ordering additional products through FI Performance based upon my experience with this order. Again thank you Brian very much!
I love the radiator. Big improvement temperature around 185
Shipped as promised, on time..
Very helpful and the tuner works awesome
Brian has a ton of knowledge and very informative. He was able to set me up on the right coilover and spring tensions for my exact build. Fast shipping and quick replies
I’ve only received my diff brace still waiting for my trans brace only got one tracking number so not too sure about that
