  • Eibach Launch New Audi A1 Chassis Upgrades

    Audi’s superb new compact, the A1, now has the poise to match its pose thanks to the suspension gurus Eibach. The German manufacturer has released a spring and spacer package to endow the diminutive Deustchlander with class-leading levels of handling.

    Whilst even the most hardened critics are struggling to find anything negative to say about Audi’s latest niche offering, the latest Eibach Pro-Kit package improves further on the already excellent chassis. By lowering the entire centre of gravity by approximately 30mm, the turn-in, grip and predictability of the car are hugely improved.

    Sublime handling is all very well, but not if it’s at the expense of ride comfort. Here Eibach’s exclusive access to Audi’s factory chassis data prior to launch results in a factory-quality ride that perfectly matches the original dampers. This is achieved by Eibach’s progressive spring windings that effectively produce two spring characteristics in the one spring. Soft for straight line ambling, precise for spirited cornering. As the official supplier to Audi Sport – Ingolstadt’s Motorsport arm – for the last three seasons, the two firms enjoy a genuine two-way flow of information.

    This isn’t simply an exercise in dynamics however; The A1’s balanced good looks are further enhanced by the aggressive stance of the Pro-Kit, giving the car a far more purposeful appearance. The kit is priced at £134.76 + VAT.

    For those drivers wanting the ultimate aesthetic and dynamic enhancement, Eibach have also introduced a range of Pro-Spacers for the car. These precisely fitting spacers increase the vehicle track, further enhancing steering precision and improving the cars ability to cope with swift direction changes. The Pro-Spacer range starts at £33.04 for the 5mm versions.

    The icing on the cake comes in the form of the industry-leading 5 year, unlimited mileage warranty on the Pro-Kit, ensuring enjoyable driving for many miles to come.

    In standard form the car is a superb roadster and a brilliant drive, but for those looking to achieve the ultimate in pin-point handling, without upsetting the Renault’s superb road manners, Eibach have released a selection of chassis upgrades to endow the Wind with gale-force handling. This is achieved without inducing scuttle shake or spoiling the car’s balance.

  • Eibach launch new Honda CR-Z chassis upgrades. Now hugs trees AND corners

    Respected suspension manufacturer Eibach has launched a new range of suspension and wheel spacer upgrades for Honda’s new ‘green’ machine, The CR-Z.

    The German firm has been quick out of the blocks to release the fully TUV approved kit, despite the new hatch having only been in the showrooms for a few months.

    The new spring kit uses pre-fatigued, heat treated and surface-treated springs to lower the chassis by around 30mm. Not only does the resultant lower centre of gravity improve handling and turn-in, but the CR-Z also gains a useful improvement in stance, augmenting its cutting-edge looks even further.

    Thanks to the progressive winding on each spring, ride quality is maintained at almost factory levels, whilst allowing the car to stay much flatter under cornering.

    Optimised to work with the OEM dampers, the four spring kit costs £143.48 + VAT and comes with a comprehensive 5 year warranty.

    The final finishing touch comes in the form of Eibach’s hub-centring spacer kits. Offering owners a wide range of track increases, these beautifully machined components offer a high-integrity solution from just £81.74 + VAT per pair.(10mm versions)

    Who said saving the planet had to be dull?
