Eibach releases new Focus ST Estate chassis upgrades

The Focus ST seemed to appease the market straight away with its welcome mix of affordable performance and practicality. The latest incarnation of Ford’s superb Focus platform adds more of the same – but this time of course, there’s an even more versatile estate version, too. For those looking to up the excitement without sacrificing the practicality or comfort, then Eibach has the perfect riposte.

All previous Focus models have been class leaders in handling terms – and the latest platform follows suit, giving Eibach’s engineers the perfect basis to create a truly entertaining car. For those looking for a more ‘focused’ performance and an improved stance from the estate version, 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 has been the official supplier to Ford’s WRC team for many seasons – giving it unparalleled knowledge of - and access to – chassis data.

The new Pro-Kit works in perfect harmony with the factory dampers and lowers the car by 25mm at the front and 10mm on the 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-centric spacers which are machined from aerospace grade aluminium. Available in a wide variety of widths from 15mm to 35mm, they are the perfect way to increase the track measurement of the car for enhanced steering feel and ‘turn in’.

The Pro Kit is priced at £146.66 + VAT and the Pro-Spacers start at £95.83 + VAT per pair.
