  • 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!

  • Ahhh Real Monsters are Coming!

    Monsters are making their way to Essex, but don’t have nightmares as it’s all in the name of entertainment.
