Eibach launch new Passat CC upgrades

Passat CC

With the launch of their Passat CC, VW created a truly credible alternative to the wares of BMW and Mercedes. The car’s stunning combination of fantastic looks, useable space and sensible running costs has proved popular with critics and buyers alike. Suspension gurus Eibach have now endowed the super saloon with simply stunning handling, thanks to their raft of suspension upgrades which equip the VW with an incredible degree of steering precision and driver feedback.

For those looking for the ultimate balance of ride comfort and response, The Pro-Kit lowered springs work in harmony with the factory damper units to lower the car by approximately 30mm. This improved centre of gravity reduces body roll and improves turn-in. Thanks to the spring’s unique progressive winding, developed by Eibach’s F1 engineers, compliance is retained almost at factory levels. Appearances however are not, with the car taking on a far more aggressive stance and the wheels really filling the arches. In-keeping with VW’s reputation for longevity, the kit comes with a comprehensive 5 year warranty on fit and finish. Perfect for UK roads! The Pro-Kit is priced at £180.00 plus VAT.

For enthusiasts searching for true handling nirvana, Eibach also offer a stiffer Anti-Roll Kit for the Passat CC. This CNC manufactured kit works in conjunction with the Pro-Kit to further enhance the cars cornering prowess and is 2-point adjustable to allow the driver to set-up the car to their own preference. The ingenious properties of the new bars mean that in a straight line, ride comfort is totally unaffected, with the stiffening effect only coming into play under hard cornering. The complete front and rear Anti Roll Kit is priced at £265.22 plus VAT.

The final finishing touch can be added with the application of the Eibach’s hub-centric Pro-Spacer kit. These are available in a selection of widths to either increase the track of the standard wheels to improve the car’s handling or to allow the precise fitment of aftermarket wheels whilst retaining factory offsets. A great idea in either case. These start at just £34.04 plus VAT.

All Eibach products are fully TUV tested and approved for the ultimate in ‘fit and forget’ upgrades.
