Respected Subaru tuner Roger Clark Motorsport has unveiled an unparalleled no-compromise chassis upgrade for competitors looking to achieve the ultimate in handling and performance.
Their new Impreza kit is aimed squarely at the top-end competition market and uses the finest materials and construction to allow tuners to run the car radically low for circuit work, without compromising the geometry of the suspension arms. This is achieved by a drastic re-positioning of all key components, meaning that the new, rose-jointed arms can achieve the factory’s desired downward position at rest, as opposed to the undesirable uplifted situation that results from simply lowering a stock chassis set-up. Using this kit, the car can be lowered by over 3” without deviating from the suspension’s optimum positioning.
Material choice is exemplary. The uprights and brackets in the kit are machined from a solid HE15 billet, before being fitted with the very latest Subaru competition-spec wheel bearings and 22B wide track hubs. The studs used are also toughened and extended versions to allow a wide range of motorsport wheels to be fitted. The compression struts and track control arms are precision fabricated from Cro-Moly and utilise precise rose joints to ensure stiffness and accuracy in their movement.
As well as improving the geometry considerably, the kit also endows the recipient car with an increased track of 30mm per side, improving handling and turn-in further still,
The kit is engineered to suit each bespoke application, so can be ordered for any GC8 or GD8 chassis. Understandably, with every solution being tailor-made, prices are available on application.

You don’t have to believe in global climate change to realise that burning fossil fuels is a bad thing. There are all sorts of good reasons to look to the future for personal transport and racing right now and prove that performance doesn’t have to mean pollution. Alternative Energy Racing is here to bring together people working in the field of alternative fuels, racing and future transportation, and put the technology through its paces on the proving ground of the Santa Pod’s hallowed quarter mile.
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.
