Does anyone buy from ECS Tuning? Just figured something out after my last experience
They do have a kick butt site to look at parts. BUT The tools look to be from harbor freight at +1/2x to +2x the price.
I bought a brake tool and the harbor freight sticker was cut off but the harbor freight literature was still on the inside of the tool case.
Just hit me weird to be reselling tools like that.
BTW the cool screwdriver set on their ECS site for $14.99 is on sale at HFreight for $4.99 :-)

You're not the first to post ECS Tuning relabeling allegations
You might consider being very selective and maybe stick with their exclusive offerings.

Many things they sell you can get much less other places....
example would be universal bosch 4 wire 02 sensors...they want $95, they can easily be had for half that.
Oil filter for the S4...$19, I can find for $12 direct from a dealer.
They make it convenient with their site, that's about it.

it's not just the tools...
...I bought a "N75 Race" valve for my old TT from them, and it was just an OEM UrS4 N75 with the part number removed with a grinder LOL.
In terms of service, however, I think they're very good. I've bought several things from them.
