Eibach Launches New Nissan Juke Chassis Upgrades.

Respected German spring manufacturer Eibach has released a range of upgrades to enhance Nissan’s latest crossover model, The Juke.

The funky new niche model from the Japanese manufacturer already has leftfield good looks and superb driving dynamics to its credit, but with the fitment of the new Eibach upgrades, it can start to punch far above its weight in the turns.

The Eibach Pro-Kit is a set of OEM quality springs that are a direct replacement for the factory parts. Lowering the car by approximately 30mm, the car instantly benefits from a much more aggressive stance. But it’s not all about aesthetics, of course – this new lower centre of gravity and progressive spring rate means that handling and turn-in are significantly improved, with driver inputs being more directly communicated through to the chassis.

The progressive winding also means that ride quality is left almost untouched. The car rides on a softer section of the spring for everyday cruising, but loads up onto the stiffer section under spirited cornering. The best of both worlds!

The final finishing touch comes in the form of the Pro-Spacer. These precision engineered aerospace alloy spacers allow for precise track increases in a multitude of sizes. Perfect on standard rims to get the wheels sitting perfectly in the arch for optimum handling and an essential on many aftermarket wheels to get the perfect offset.

Prices start at £139.13 + VAT for the spring kit and £81.74 + VAT for a pair of the 10mm Pro-Spacer. All Eibach spring kits come full TUV accreditation and a comprehensive 5 year warranty

Eibach Launches New Kia Sportage Chassis Upgrades

Respected German spring manufacturer Eibach has released a range of upgrades to enhance Kia’s latest SUV model, The Sportage.

Although the Kia is an SUV in the classic mould, Eibach’s new kit will appeal to drivers that spend most of their time on the tarmac, rather than off road.. That’ll be most owners, then!

The first enhancements are the Eibach Pro-Kit springs. An OEM-quality upgrade that are a direct replacement for the factory parts. Lowering the car by approximately 30mm, the Sportage instantly benefits from a much more aggressive stance. But it’s not all about aesthetics, of course – this new lower centre of gravity and progressive spring rate means that handling and turn-in are significantly improved, with driver inputs being more directly communicated through to the chassis.

Although the lofty ride height is banished forever, the clever progressive winding technology used in the Pro-Kit means the Kia maintains full levels of ride comfort, despite being remarkably more able in the turns. These are basically two springs in one, with a softer, more compliant section for everyday cruising and then a stiffer more precise section that is called into play under more spirited driving.

The final finishing touch comes in the form of the Pro-Spacer. These precision engineered aerospace alloy spacers allow for precise track increases in a multitude of sizes. Perfect on standard rims to get the wheels sitting perfectly in the arch, for optimum handling and an essential on many aftermarket wheels to get the perfect offset.

Prices start at £230.43 for the spring kit and £81.74 for a pair of the 10mm Pro-Spacer. All Eibach spring kits come with full TUV accreditation and a comprehensive 5 year warranty.
