  • Finichi Launch New FDTM Rim. An Instant Classic

    The latest wheel from Finichi alloy wheels stable uses classic ‘80s split rim good looks to appeal to a massive range of marques.
    The stunning pseudo-split rim wheel uses genuine split rim bolts, which can be easily removed to allow the wheel to be customised – and later in the year, Finichi will be releasing a series of custom bolt options with anodised finishes to enable owners to match or contrast with their paint finish.

    The flawlessly finished multispoke will be available in two main sizes. A 7.5 x 17” in most popular 4 and stud Euro, VAG, Jap and Tuner fitments and an 8 x 18” which will be available in both 5 x100 and 5 x 112 PCDs.

    Despite offering a sizeable dish, the inner spoke profile means that brake clearance is exceptional for this style of rim, allowing many big brake conversions to fit behind without the need for spacers.

    Prices haven’t yet been announced, but will doubtless be much less than a full set of split-rims!

  • Cobra Suspension For Subaru WRX/ STi 08-on

    With the new Impreza now starting to emerge from its manufacturer’s warranty, owners are getting the urge to make the odd improvement or two. With that in mind, many will be glad to learn of the Cobra Suspension kit for the hatchback version.

    Upon its launch, every road tester loved the car, but slated the chassis. Addressing these points, the Cobra kit comes as the perfect rescue package to maintain the ride quality whilst massively improving the handling. Lowering the car by 30mm, the lower centre of gravity brings improved turn-in, pin-point accuracy and a real sense of fun, evocative of the much-loved original.

    The heat-treated springs are powder coated for a long and durable life – even on the UK’s salted winter roads. Each spring is cold formed for accuracy before being heat treated for strength and durability. Finally, each and every spring is shot-peened to pre fatigue the spring and eliminate sagging. This lengthy production process explains Cobra’s confidence in their product and their 5 Year warranty.

    So if you fancy the build quality of the new Impreza – but the fun and handling of the original, it looks like you can finally have your cake and eat it. The price is just £150 + VAT for the set of 4 springs.

  • Eibach Pro-Kit and Pro-Spacer For The E-Class Station Wagon. Estate Of The Art

    With the launch of the latest E-Class station wagon, Mercedes Benz has set the standard in quality, space and comfort. A luxurious ambience, combined with impressive load capacity, make the E Class Station Wagon a superb companion for long journeys.

    True driving enthusiasts will relish the release of the latest Eibach Pro-Kit, which uses a pair of precision wound front springs to lower the car by around 30mm. The rear air suspension can then easily be reset to achieve the perfect stance – without affecting ride comfort – to achieve a car that looks far more purposeful and displays pinpoint handling characteristics.

    The Pro Spacer kit increases the vehicle’s track, not only making the wheel fill the arch for a real visual ‘kick’, but more importantly, creating a chassis that benefits from improved turn-in and sharper steering response.

    All Eibach components benefit from industry leading corrosion protection and are fully TUV certified.
