  • Cobra Honda Civic Suspension Range

    Performance Wheels, the UK importers of Cobra suspension has unveiled its latest cost-effective suspension upgrade for Honda Civic models of all ages from 1983 to the present day!

    Priced from just £70.63 + VAT for the 2 spring kits and £106.35 + VAT for the 4 spring versions, the Cobra range is aimed at enthusiasts looking for maximum control and precision – for a sensible outlay. Coil spring units offering a drop of -40mm are available for the earlier ’83-87 cars, whilst owners of the later models can choose lowering springs with drops of between -30 to -55m as well as a range of high performance shock absorbers. Those looking to achieve sublime handling and stance can choose from an extensive array of coilover units which on the higher spec models offer full bump and rebound set-up. Height adjustment is vast with drops from – 20mm to – 80m achievable with just a twist of the setting tools that come with the kit. These start at £409.18 VAT for the painted Evo 1 kits or £573.18 + VAT for the version with full stainless steel bodies to offer maximum resistance against corrosion. Ideal for the UK!

    Thanks to Cobra’s advanced damper technology, progressively wound springs and urethane bushings, ride quality remains remarkably compliant, despite the car exhibiting far less roll in the turns and being far more responsive to driver inputs.

    The spring range benefits from a full 5 year warranty against fit and finish and the shock absorbers and coilovers benefit from 12 months comprehensive cover. All units are fully TUV approved. Whichever  Civic you run.. and no matter how deep your pockets, Cobra have a solution to suit.

  • 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’.

  • 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.
