Eibach extends Classic Impreza range
German suspension legend Eibach has revisited the offering for one of its best-selling lines, the ‘Classic’ GC8 Impreza, and made it even better. In addition to the much-vaunted Pro-Kit spring offering and anti-roll bars, two clever new alignment products have also been added to allow tuners to really fettle the car’s handling.
The Pro Kit lowers the 30mm front and rear (more on NA models) and offers a unique progressive wind for a balance of comfort and handling, coupled with an impressive 5 year warranty. Each spring is pre-stressed to eliminate sagging, before being shot-peened and electrostatically powder-coated for a long and durable life. This kit has been proven the world over by all leading Subaru tuners and costs £200.83 +VAT.
Drivers looking to really get the best out of the car can also opt for the Anti-Roll kit, which utilises a pair of 23mm front and 24mm rear, non-adjustable bars. Ideal for reducing load transfer with altering the car’s spring rate, this kit will transform the Impreza’s already impressive ability in the turns. Priced at £280.00 +VAT, this is a great way to really improve the car’s point-to-point ability without ruining its ride comfort.
For those looking to turn the handling dial to ‘11’, the alignment kit adds the final finishing flourish. On the front, camber bolts offer an additional ±1.75° of adjustment over the factory parameters. These are priced at £16.16 + VAT. In response to UK customer requirements, the new silver finish on these has also been enhanced to ensure that they will withstand a Salt Spray Test of over 700 hours - great for cars that brave the winter salt. Tree-huggers will also be glad to know that this new finish is also water based and hex-chromate free, making it kinder to the environment than comparable coatings. Good to know as you hoon around the countryside in your Subaru, doing 15 mpg at flat chat…
At the rear of the car, the alignment arms offer an extra ±1.5° camber and toe, allowing the Impreza to achieve heights of ability simply not possible on the stock set-up. The price of these parts is £246.66 +VAT.
Hub centric wheel spacers complete the perfect set-up, machined from a solid billet of aerospace alloy and fully TUV’ed to boot. Sized from 5mm to 25mm per side, prices start from £45.00 +VAT.
