Eibach releases new Honda Civic chassis upgrades

The latest generation of Honda Civic is already enjoying considerable success in the BTCC and has doubtless become a target for tuners everywhere. The Swindon-built hatch is a fine handling package in standard form, but Eibach has drawn heavily upon its experience with the car as Honda Racings’s technical partner in the BTCC to create two highly effective handling upgrades.
The Civic continues Honda’s enviable reputation for reliability and excitement. Despite the fact that the car is still a relatively recent addition to Honda’s model line-up, Eibach’s engineers have been quick to design, test and release a fully TUV-approved suspension package for the car.
That Honda’s latest Civic will be a sales success is not in doubt, but the cost/comfort compromise that is the standard suspension may not appeal to all buyers. For those looking for a more ‘focused’ performance and an improved stance from the capable hatch, Eibach’s carefully honed Pro-Kit offers the perfect solution, balancing noticeably improved handling with a compliant ride quality. This impressive feat of engineering is in no small part down to the fact that the German suspension manufacturer was involved with the current Touring Car set-up from the outset of its design, granting it unparalleled access to all chassis data throughout the car’s development cycle.
The new Pro-Kit works in perfect harmony with the factory dampers and lowers the car by 30mm front and 25mm rear. A progressively wound spring allows a softer section for every day commuting that pushes into a stiffer section when really throwing the car into the turns – ideal for a car that needs to be all things for all people.
For drivers seeking the ultimate in dynamics and aesthetics, Eibach also offer a wide selection of Pro-Spacers. These are precision manufactured, hub-centring spacers which are machined from aerospace grade aluminium. Available in a wide variety of widths from 12mm, they are the perfect way to increase the track measurement of the car for enhanced steering feel and ‘turn in’.
The Pro-Kit retails at £154.78 + VAT and the Pro-Spacer kits start from £85.22 + VAT per pair for the 10mm versions.
