We are more than glad to. I've always had a soft spot for the 928. I feel that it is under-appreciated, and I would like to help you guys keep your cars road worthy for many more years of fun. If there is ever anything you need, please feel free to contact me.

"only offered exclusively through ECS"

I'm always glad to have parts offered and support people who like our cars, but this statement is false advertising. Maybe you mean "at this price." You do not have an exclusive on this simple screw, I think it is 6 x 12, countersunk head. You can find SS screws at most big box hardware, (no shipping), might have to search a little. Give him specifics NoVector, I think he does want to provide service.

I, like Steven, always appreciate good new items that are helpful in maintenance or even some modifications.

This, however doesn't seem "new" to me. I've been buying these stainless metric countersunk phillips head screws at our local Ace hardware stores for about 9 years. If I recall, they are about $0.50 each there. I always install with a spot of never seize, and they are the SO easy to remove the next time you change rotors. The screws will last even longer than our stainless steel exhaust systems!!

But - maybe the ones from ecs tuning are even more special than the "off the rack" type (bespoke perhaps?).

I always thought that they were put on at the factory so the rotors woudn't fall off going down the line before the wheels were added. Could be wrong though
