  • Cobra Suspension For Nissan 350Z

    The Nissan 350Z revived the legend of the much vaunted ‘Z’ cars for Nissan and put a genuine driver’s car back into their model line up. Amazing to think that the car has been with us since 2002, making all those affordable, early examples rife for ardent tuners everywhere.

    With the superb 24 valve V6 motor providing plenty of grunt, one of the most effective first modifications is the suspension. Thankfully, chassis maestros Cobra have a raft of solutions for this superb car, and all with full TUV approval.

    For those looking to keep a lid on cost without compromising ride quality, the Cobra Spring Kit drops the car by around 30mm and works in harmony with the factory dampers. Handling is drastically improved thanks to a much lower centre of gravity, with turn-in and precision being greatly enhanced after fitment. The high quality finish includes pre-fatiguing, deep powder coating and heat curing to make the Cobra springs a true ‘fit and forget’ proposition.

    The ultimate upgrade comes in the form of the Evo III coilover kit which allows full damping and rebound adjustment combined with ride-height adjustment to give incredible control allied to the perfect stance. The bodies are constructed from stainless steel to give long and faithful service, even in the depths of a salted British winter.

    Prices start at just £224.00 + VAT for the spring kit rising to £1,079.00 + VAT for the coilover units.

  • 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.
