Visit To Eibach Uk

[Mr Morse]

Popped down to visit Eibach UK near Leicester this morning, they wanted and IS to have a look at with a view to manufacturing some suspension parts to give more flexability for controlling camber & caster angles.

I met with Dave Schlosser of SPC Performance (an Eibach division) who had a crawl under the car, made some measurements and took some photos.

Eibach are looking at the following:

Front: Control arms which are both camber and caster adjustable (unlike the Cusco arms which are only camber adjustable)

Rear: An offset bushing to reduce -ve camber without having to max out the stock adjuster for a slammed ride.

These are the SPC control arms for a Honda. The IS would look similar:

Interesting :D how much would a pair cost?

Not sure on the price, the Cusco's are around £250

It was nice to meet you this morning. I take it you were not there too long ?

I will keep an eye out for your car in the area ;)

Hi Andrew,

Was there around 40 mins, Dave really knows his stuff!

BTW all you LOC'ers.......this is an oil-burning Skoda that was mapped to 200 horse!

How cool :)

I suspect these will take sometime before they become available.. Hopefully not too long but there are other options besides Cusco which still need to be explored fully... such as the Ikeya jobbies

It was nearer 160 whp ;), but who is counting ;)

I am looking forward to the finished result from Eibach, and Dave was a nice chap :)
