  • Cobra Suspension For The Toyota iQ

    With the new Toyota iQ seeming to offer a perfectly proportioned mix of economy and ability, Cobra Springs have also added ‘excitement’ to that list.
     
    With every road tester loving the car at its launch, but being a touch underwhelmed by its handling prowess, The Cobra kit comes as the perfect upgrade 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, without ruining the character of the car.
     
    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 ecological credentials of the superb iQ, but with a far more aggressive stance and vastly improved dynamics –  It looks like you can finally have your cake and eat it.
     
    Two kits are available for all 2009 on cars. One kit for the 1.0 and a heavier wind for the 1.3 petrol and 1.4 diesel models. Both are priced at £139.00 + VAT and lower the respective model by 30mm all round.

  • Cobra Springs Release Nissan Cube Suspension Upgrade

    Leading suspension manufacturer Cobra has released a superb new spring upgrade kit for the latest version of the quirky Nissan cube. The cute leftfield MPV has many virtues, but up until now, pin-point handling hasn’t been one of them!

    Cobra’s engineering led solution uses pre-fatigued and shot peened springs to lower the car by around 30mm. Not only does this do wonders for the stance of the geometric Nissan, but also adds a significant dynamic improvement to the whole driving experience. Turn-in and general handling are greatly improved without ruining the Nissan’s compliant factory ride quality and best of all, the springs are designed to work perfectly with the factory dampers.

    With a thick protective powder coat and numerous anti-corrosive treatments, it comes as little surprise that all Cobra kits come with full TUV approval and a class-leading 5 year warranty. Prices are as yet unconfirmed, but expected to be in line with the rest of the Cobra range.

  • Cobra Clio C Sports Lowering Kits. Hot Frog!

    Leading suspension manufacturer Cobra Springs has released details of its lowering spring range for all models of the popular Clio ‘C’ model – available from 2005 onwards.

    The Cobra range offers no less than 6 different kits for the popular hot hatch, covering all engine variants from the 1.2 right up to the 2.0 16valve model and in a range of drops from 25-45mm.

    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.

    With the kit fitted, the new, lower centre of gravity improves turn-in and driver response, whilst eliminating roll and keeping the car flatter and more positive in sweeping turns. The kits also come with an unparalleled lifetime warranty against breakage, making them unique in the UK marketplace.

    Prices start at £114.29+ VAT for most kits.. So what are you waiting for? Get on down!
