As you get experience in driving a car, you start to get adventurous and wonder how to improve your vehicle’s performance and your own skills. Maybe you want to achieve better controllability on the asphalt, or get additional power conquering off-road. Either way, you will find that improving is oftentimes limited by the average class of suspension and chassis parts. It happens due to vehicle manufacturers focusing on everyday, average drivers who do not require parts that can produce better power and a higher level of performance and controllability. 

Eibach is a company that manufactures upper-class components, upgrades, and suspension parts that significantly improve all aspects of vehicle performance. Professional and talented engineers put all their effort to create upgrades that increase stability, accelerate response time, improve cornering abilities, and reduce body roll.

Eibach team works on tuning and smooth performance of each individual component released, especially stabilizers, dampers, and springs. This leads to complete harmony between the driver, the car, and the road. In any situation on the road, or on off-road terrain, you’ll get a much better response. For example, there will be a reduced body roll on hard cornering and an almost non-existent nose dive under sudden braking. 

Street Performance Upgrades by Eibach

In order for drivers to get maximum performance, safety, and control on the road, Eibach releases a wide range of Street Performance Components and Upgrades. No matter if you are a daily driver or a competitive racer, these Eibach products will enhance your vehicle’s abilities to the safest maximum. Here are the products that you can purchase and be sure that they will serve a lifetime of your vehicle.

Performance Springs: a choice between three models

As of 2023, Eibach offers three strong, durable, high-performance Springs for street cars.

eibach TOYOTA GR Supra pro kit
  • Pro-Kit by Eibach is one of the most popular and demanded models for most street cars that require improvements in terms of handling, controllability, and appearance. This model offers 1.5 inches of reduced Center of Gravity that enhances appearance and performance during acceleration, cornering, and braking. Eibach Pro-Kit Springs will minimize braking nose-dive, cornering body roll, and accelerating squat, which will maximize the control you have over the car. Engineers did meticulous work designing and testing this model to provide you with impressive ride quality, progressive design, precision tuning, and a million-mile lifetime. No compromises have to be made by the drivers after installing these springs.
  • Sportline Springs by Eibach can provide your car with the necessary performance and controllability for demanding, and even extreme street driving and asphalt racing. This model offers professional handling achieved by up to 2.3 inches of the center of gravity lowering, precision engineering, reduced nose-dive, body roll, and squats. 
  • Drag-Launch Springs by Eibach are designed for ultimate dragstrip competitions. They provide your car with maximum traction during the ride and excellent grip at the start. The Eibach team put all the best ideas in these springs to ensure lower ETs, reduced wheel hops, much faster 60ft and maximized torque control. All of it is possible due to an amazing load balance and transfer during launches, as well as high-quality alloy steel processed with tempering, cold-forming, and shot-peening.
