  • RCM Launch New Impreza Wide Track Time Attack Kit

    Respected Subaru tuner Roger Clark Motorsport has unveiled an unparalleled no-compromise chassis upgrade for competitors looking to achieve the ultimate in handling and performance.

    Their new Impreza kit is aimed squarely at the top-end competition market and uses the finest materials and construction to allow tuners to run the car radically low for circuit work, without compromising the geometry of the suspension arms. This is achieved by a drastic re-positioning of all key components, meaning that the new, rose-jointed arms can achieve the factory’s desired downward position at rest, as opposed to the undesirable uplifted situation that results from simply lowering a stock chassis set-up. Using this kit, the car can be lowered by over 3” without deviating from the suspension’s optimum positioning.

    Material choice is exemplary. The uprights and brackets in the kit are machined from a solid HE15 billet, before being fitted with the very latest Subaru competition-spec wheel bearings and 22B wide track hubs. The studs used are also toughened and extended versions to allow a wide range of motorsport wheels to be fitted. The compression struts and track control arms are precision fabricated from Cro-Moly and utilise precise rose joints to ensure stiffness and accuracy in their movement.

    As well as improving the geometry considerably, the kit also endows the recipient car with an increased track of 30mm per side, improving handling and turn-in further still,

    The kit is engineered to suit each bespoke application, so can be ordered for any GC8 or GD8 chassis. Understandably, with every solution being tailor-made, prices are available on application.

  • Cobra Vectra C Spring Kit Out Now!

    Cobra Vectra C Spring Kit Out Now!

    The launch of the latest Insignia range has caused ripples of excitement throughout the motor industry. Its elder sibling, the Vectra C, still has plenty of fight left in it however, and thanks to Cobra Suspension, now has the cornering prowess to run rings round the new upstart.

    The new Cobra kit is available in different fitments to suit all variants and drops them all (5 door, Signum or Estate ) by a tasteful and practical 30mm – more on the lesser engined variants. By lowering the car’s centre of gravity, both turn and traction mid corner are greatly improved whilst driver feedback and enjoyment are considerably heightened. Those looking for a true pan-scraping stance can specify the -45m versions, which still feature a progressive wind for comfort and control.

    All Cobra springs are pre-fatigued to avoid the ‘sag’ more commonly associated with aftermarket suspension. They’re also electrostatically powder coated for a long life and rust free existence. This quality is backed by Cobra’s comprehensive 5 year warranty.

    Despite the quality, the price weighs in at just £126.19 + VAT. A great way to make your Griffin spiffin’.

  • Eibach Re-introduce Golf Mk1 Anti-Roll Kit. Back By Popular Demand!

    Eibach Re-introduce Golf Mk1 Anti-Roll Kit. Back By Popular Demand!

    Suspension guru Eibach has turned the clock back – with the re-release of its VW Golf Mk1 Anti-Roll Bar Kit.

    Originally launched in the mid ‘80s, the kit quickly became the modification of choice for the discerning ‘dubber. Thanks to Eibach’s unique OEM experience, the kit greatly enhances handling by keeping the car flatter in the corners, without ruining the ride quality.

    The line was then dropped in 2008 during Eibach’s usual production streamlining process, but thanks to an overwhelming number of requests from tuners and enthusiasts, the German factory has decided to press the button once again on a strictly limited production run… of just FIFTY units!

    ‘That’s what I love about this company!’ explained Eibach’s UK’s Managing Director, Julian Gill. ‘We may be a global manufacturer producing production runs of tens of thousands at a time, but we’re still able to respond to the ‘little guys’ – the true enthusiasts that make the tuning scene what it is. Although we’re not putting the bars back into full volume production, the unprecedented demand that we have had for this Mk1 kit meant that if was feasible to create a special ‘one-off’ run to keep our customers happy. It’s all about them, after all!’

    So if you want your Mk1 to handle like it’s on rails, get to your nearest Eibach dealer, sharpish! The complete kit is priced at £301.67 + VAT for both the front and rear bars, but, as the old adage says, when they’re gone.. they’re gone!
