  • 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.

  • Eibach Tubular Anti–Roll Bar Kits. Lighter, Tighter Cornering

    Respected suspension manufacturer Eibach has long led the market in terms of product innovation and quality, but its latest development is something truly unique. Hollow, tubular anti-roll bar kits.

    Originally developed for its many motorsport clients, where optimum weight balanced with incredible durability are par for the course, Eibach have now transferred this knowledge and experience into their road-car programme creating a series of kits for popular applications. Better still, moving forward, all future kits will be made by this method wherever possible. As well as reducing unsprung weight on the car by over 40% from the traditional method, Eibach can still maintain efficiency in operation and achieve measurable improvements in handling.

    When developing the technology, material quality and bending techniques were both critical.  To avoid issues such as surface imperfections reducing fatigue life or the bending process kinking or collapsing the tube when being formed, Eibach had to completely start the design and manufacturing process from scratch. In some OEM applications of this technology Eibach has been able to create tubes with a wall thickness of just 1.4mm that surpass all manufacturer fatigue tests and weigh over 40% less than their solid counterparts.

    Initial applications include;

    – Golf 5 and  6 including 4 motion and Eos

    – Audi A3 including Cabrio, TT Coupe + Roadster

    – Seat Leon Altea, Toledo,

    – VW Passat Saloon/Estate CC

    – VW Touran, Tiguan

  • Lexus IS200 Lowering Springs – Lex Appeal

    The Lexus IS200 is widely regarded as the car that showed the BMW 3 series the way home. A superb mix of refinement, equipment and ride wrapped in a great looking package. To that list of credentials, you can now add ‘handling’ thanks to the latest performance spring kit from Cobra Suspension.

    The precision-wound kit drops the lofty Lexus down by approximately 40mm, making it look rather more suitable for the track than the golf club. Thanks to its new found lower centre of gravity, turn-in and handling are greatly improved, with ride quality left almost untouched.

    The manufacturing process behind each kit sets it apart from the competition. Each spring is cold-wound from high tensile Chromium–Silicone wire before being shot-peened for longevity and then finished with a phosphate treatment and baked-on resin powder coating, for a hard corrosion resistant shell. The Cobra kits also come with an unparalleled lifetime warranty against breakage, making them unique in the UK marketplace.

    For enthusiasts searching for the pinnacle in handling and adjustability, Cobra also offer their Evo 3 coilover kit for the car which offers massive ride adjustments of up to 60mm, plus full bump and rebound incremental damping on a stainless steel body for just £1311.18 + VAT. This kit is aimed squarely at the fast road and track day enthusiast and offers the ability for full corner-weighting and precise chassis set-up.
