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!

Cobra Suspension For E36 and E46 3 Series BMW

BMW may have created ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’, but owners of the superb E36 and E46 3 series models can make theirs even better still, thanks to Cobra Suspension.cobra_s2000_unit_240x768

The respected manufacturer has released details of its new Evo III Suspension set-up for both cars. Most engine variants are covered, from the 316 upwards, with special kits developed for the much vaunted M3 models.

Whilst the standard cars are hugely capable, chances are that the standard suspension is getting a little tired and ready for replacement. The Cobra kit offers adjustable height, damping and rebound to endow the 3 series with grip and traction beyond even its original capabilities. The Evo III kit also offers both inboard and outboard damping control.

The Evo III kit utilises a twin tube gas pressure system and offers up to 80mm of controllable height adjustment. The stainless steel bodies use polyurethane bushes and a specially designed bumpstop to give the car a precise feel with improved turn-in and driver feedback. The kit also comes with a fully comprehensive 12 months warranty.

Prices start at just £1,169. + VAT for the E46 kit rising to £1,709 + VAT for the M3 models. For more details please visit www.cobra-suspension.co.uk or call Cobra on 01530 517920.
