Suspension

Suspension is one of the most important components of a car. First the suspension is responsible for comfort, road holding, braking and also your safety!!

Here we will explain the difference between the upgrade options we offer and the benefits they provide.

Sports spring kit

This kit is the perfect answer for most popular models. Our kit lowers the centre of gravity, reducing squat during acceleration, body roll in corners and excessive nosedive under braking. We always advise fitting matching shock absorbers for the best results and balance.

  • Lower centre of gravity ( upto 40mm )
  • Progressive spring design
  • Excellent ride quality
  • Improved vehicle appearance

Sports suspension kit

This kit consists of 4 shock absorbers matched with a set of lowering spring. This improves the handling still further with the ability to adjust the damping rate to your personal requirements (softer or harder)on some cars. This kit gives your car the aggressive sportive appearance you are looking for with the performance to match but without sacrificing ride quality.

  • Perfectly matched spring and damper kit
  • Maximum performance – maximum comfort
  • Improved vehicle stance for ‘sports look’
  • Adjustable shock absorbers

Coilover ‘ride height’ suspension kit

Designed for the driver where nothing but the best will do!!! This kit offers ultimate adjustability.Ideal for track use or the passionate driver.

Developed from the many years gained with international motorsport this kit is the ultimate, allowing an adjustable lowering of upto 65mm with the externally adjustable dampers give the car maximum tuneability for absolutely superb road holding and great looks.

  • Adjustable ride height of upto 65mm through threaded bodies
  • Adjustable damping rates for maximum tuneability
  • Suitable for track or road
  • Vehicle specific kits

Anti roll bar kit

In addition to the suspension kits above the anti roll bar kit compliments your suspension upgrade by further enhancing road holding. Reduced body roll through corners provides improved grip and positive direction change characteristics.

  • Reduced body roll provides improved cornering
  • Positive impact on handling characteristics
  • Improves stability at high speeds
  • Complete kit includes all mountings and fittings
  • Perfectly developed to enhance other suspension modifications

Wheel spacer kit (bolts not included)

Spacer kits offer that optical “ kick “ to standard or aftermarket wheels. With the installed spacers the car looks wider and better, as the wheel fills the arch to give that final touch.

By increasing the track width, not only is the appearance improved, you also achieve an optimised driving behaviour combined with higher stability, as the roll of the chassis is influenced in a positive manner.

  • Made from high tensile alloy for strength and reduced weight
  • Provides that optical “kick”
  • Increased track provides improved handling
  • Available in sizes from 5 – 30 mm for most models

Uprated polyurethane bushes

POWERFLEX polyurethane bushes improve your cars’ road holding and chassis performance by controlling the amount of unwanted flex in the suspension. This means your suspension is doing what it is supposed to. It means your tyres have greater contact with the road at all time’s therefore improving safety and performance. Correctly formulated polyurethane is as good if not better at noise, vibration and harshness suppression when compared to rubber.

If your tyres are in better contact with the road and your suspension movements are being controlled more accurately then tyre wear will be dramatically reduced. We have letters of recommendation from customers who state that they have doubled the life of their tyres on certain cars after fitting POWERFLEX bushes. We are not claiming that you will get this but worn bushes are dangerous and will be costing you money due to premature tyre wear.

Have you ever taken your car into a tyre shop with tyres which are worn out on the inner or outer edges but perfectly legal everywhere else? You assume the tracking is wrong, but when the shop checks, it is correct. This is bush wear. When the car is stationary the tracking is correct but as you move and the loads increase then the tracking goes out. Come to a stop and the tracking is right again. Worn bushes.

Adjustable rear tie bars

These are designed for the 4 wheel drive rear axle fitted to the TT, S3, R32 and 4 motion. The tie bar is the connection between the sub frame and the trailing arm. This component offers adjustment of the geometry on the rear wheels. When a car is lowered the tie bar allows adjustment to correct the alignment of the rear wheels and improve handling characteristics

  • Individual adjustment
  • Polyurethane bushes
  • More safety (increased strength)

After looking at the problems associated with the lack of adjustment on 4 wheel drive vehicles, especially when the vehicle has been lowered this provides the best solution. It was at this time that there was an apparent problem of owners reporting control arm failure in Europe and so we provide this re engineered product as a solution to what it should have been in the first place.
