  • Cobra Release Fiesta Mk6 Spring Kit

    Owners of Ford’s irrepressible Fiesta should be delighted to learn about the latest fitments from Cobra’s respected suspension range.

    A range of -30mm springs is available for all Mk 6 and Mk 6.5 ST, TDCi and Zetec variants. Thanks to a lower centre of gravity, turn-in, handling and steering precision are all improved.

    The heat-treated springs are plastic 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 on springs.

  • Mini Convertible – Open Air Thrills With Open Road Ability!

    It may have been in the showrooms for all of 5 minutes, but already suspension gurus Eibach have a full complement of suspension products for the new Mini Convertible.

    Even in standard trim, the car has wowed critics with its combination of svelte good looks, superb roof and responsive chassis. The new Eibach products remove the compromises of the standard suspension set-up to endow the lovable soft-top with an incredible degree of steering precision and driver feedback.

    For those looking for the ultimate balance of ride comfort and response, The Pro-Kit lowered springs work in harmony with the factory damper units to lower the car by approximately 30mm. This improved centre of gravity reduces body roll and improves turn-in. Thanks to the spring’s unique progressive winding, developed by Eibach’s F1 engineers, compliance is retained almost at factory levels. Appearances however are not, with the car taking on a far more aggressive stance and the wheels really filling the arches. In-keeping with BMW’s reputation for longevity, the kit comes with a comprehensive 5 year warranty on fit and finish. Perfect for UK roads! The kit is priced at £157.39 + VAT.

    For enthusiasts searching for true handling nirvana, Eibach also offer a new, stiffer Anti-Roll Kit for the Mini. This CNC manufactured kit works in conjunction with the Pro-Kit to further enhance the cars cornering prowess. The ingenious properties of the new bars mean that in a straight line, ride comfort is totally unaffected, with the stiffening effect only coming into play under hard cornering. The kits are priced at £260.87 +VAT for a pair front and rear bars.

    The final finishing touch can be added with the application of the Eibach’s hub-centric Pro-Spacer kit. These are available in a selection of widths to either increase the track of the standard wheels to improve the car’s handling or to allow the precise fitment of aftermarket wheels whilst retaining factory offsets. A great idea in either case. Prices start at just £38.00 + VAT per pair.

    The Mini may already be BMW’s most recognisable icon, but now, thanks to Eibach, it truly handles like one.

  • Eibach and ABP Motorsport Slam the Civic Type R

    Respected suspension manufacturers, Eibach Springs have recently completed a rather special project for tuning specialists ABP Motorsport. A unique batch of extra-low Pro-kit springs for the new FN2 Honda Civic Type R.

    The respected tuner commissioned Eibach to produce the spring kit to their own exact requirements, via the German manufacturer’s Special Projects Division. Here production runs as low as one single unit can be handled, covering the entire process from original design and prototyping, through to production, batch testing and analysis, before final delivery and aftersales care.

    Eibach UK Managing Director, Julian Gill commented. ‘We were delighted to complete this special project for ABP. We had already conducted significant data analysis on the FN2 when designing our own products, but ABP had identified a unique market gap amongst their own clientele for a kit that sat lower than the usual Pro-Kit, yet retained a real degree of compliancy, and of course our usual anti-corrosion and anti-sag processes. The result is the exclusive kit that you see here.’

    Designed to work with the factory-spec dampers, the ABP kit lowers the car by 30mm for a magazine-perfect stance, yet remains remarkably useable, thanks to the progressive-wind technology pioneered by Eibach. Priced at just £149.50 including VAT, this limited edition set-up, like the car itself, won’t hang around for long!
