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.

Roger Clark Motorsport 2009 Race Dates

Current reigning TOTB and Time Attack Champions, Roger Clark Motorsport have officially announced their provisional race dates for 2009.

With so many fans hoping to see their incredible ‘Gobstopper’ Impreza in action, it should come as welcome news that they will be competing in the inaugural 2009 round at Oulton Park on April 25th. The team also plans to campaign at this years Ten Of The Best Competition at Elvington in July.

Unclear at this stage however, is whether the team can spare the time to compete in every round of the Time Attack Championship. ‘2009 is going to be a hectic year for us.’ explained current title holder Olly Clark. ‘As well as the development of over 50 new product lines this year, and our usual order book of work, I’m delighted to announce that we will also be expanding into new, much larger premises towards the end of the season, which will include many more facilities for our clients, including a full dyno set-up. As much as I’m dying to defend my titles, we have to be sensible and concentrate on the expansion of the business. Don’t worry! Once we’re up and running in our new headquarters, you can bank on me and the Gobstopper being back out there.’

Whether Olly can truly resist this temptation remains to be seen, but for now, our advice to all RCM fans everywhere is to get to Oulton Park to see the car in action. It may be your only chance this season!
