THE WILL TO WIN

It’s much more than a slogan.

It’s our and, we suspect, your way of life. It’s the

drive in all of us that makes us work better, stay up

later and drive harder. It’s what compels us to do

our best today and to do even better tomorrow.

It’s what makes us build the world’s best springs,

dampers, coilovers, antiroll bars and other

suspension components.

And what makes the world’s best tuners, drivers

and racing teams, from the demanding engineers of

Formula 1 to the wizards of WRC, DTM and NASCAR,

to the numerous obsessed amateurs of racing, insist

on Eibach quality, service and technology?

It’s why every Eibach product is more than just a

standardised part. It is a symbol for what drives us:

the evidently irresistible power of

The Will To Win.

APPEARANCE | The Look that Really Performs

A big part of suspension performance is theappearance that comes with it. The lower, more

muscular, more athletic stance — makes any

vehicle stand out from the rest of the pack.

Use the before and after guide below and theperformance chart on the next page to determine

which Eibach suspension kit fits your level of style

and performance best.

Before | Stock

The OEM’s design their suspension to appeal to the

masses. They leave lots of room for improvements in

handling, responsiveness and “getridofthefender

gap” appearance that every enthusiast wants.

After | with ProKit

You will instantly notice the significant improvement

in handling, braking and responsiveness. The icing

onthecake is the “nomorefendergap”appearance

and improved fuel economy. Who says you can’t

have your cake and eat it too? Hungry?

After | with Sportline

For those looking for a little bit more aggressiveness

in handling and appearance, this is definitely the answer.

ProStreetS coilover suspension systems.

Our experience from many years of inhouse

development and manufacture of shock absorbers

and ERS springs for the top series in national and

international motorsports also flows directly into

our coilover suspension systems.

Additionally, the ProStreetS shock absorbers

are manufactured on the basis of stainless steel

technology, in order not just to provide you witha sporty performance, but also with the finest

quality! In order to guarantee corrosion resistance in

height adjustment, we use spring cups of polyamide

compounds.

This combination of tuning results flowing directly

into the production, the application of highgrade

materials and the utilization of spring elements

drawing from our ERS racing sport line results

in a perfectly calibrated product in every regard.

Dampening tuned for performance handling

Precisionengineered electronic

suspension tuning

The latest suspension technology, available on the

most advanced MercedesBenz models, use air andhydraulic pressure, modulated by computer, to actively

control suspension compliance, ride height and body

roll. But if you want the performance benefits and

enhanced looks of lowered suspension, what do you do?

The answer – Eibach ProTronic, an easytoinstall

electronic module that automatically lowers Auto

matic Body Control (ABC)equipped MercedesBenz

models (S, CL and SLClass) up to 25 mm, just like

our world renowned ProKit lowering spring sets.

The lowered stance improves cornering, reduces

aero drag, and perfectly complements large diameter

wheels and lowprofile performance tires. ProTronic

also finetunes the damping characteristics of the

ABC system, for even better cornering performance,

without sacrificing a smooth, comfortable ride.

The ProTronic kit includes all the necessary electronic

hardware, easy installation instructions, and is TÜV

approved.

Significant weight advantage compared to

wheelspacers made from steel

Eibach ProSpacer is the ideal combination for use

with the Eibach ProKit as well the Sportline, if the

original or aftermarket wheels are missing that last

optical “kick”.

With the Eibach ProSpacer installed, the car looks

wider and better, as the wheel fills the arch. That’s

how the car’s look gets its final touch.

By increasing the track width, not only the appearance

is improved, but you also achieve an optimized driving

behavior combined with higher stability, as the rollof the chassis is influenced in a positive manner.

Optimize the “sportive touch” to the last detail:

wheels, tires, Eibach Suspension Components and

ProSpacer!

The ProSpacer is available in different versions

from 5 to 30 mm width.

Uncountable individual combination possibilities

to create from standard spring components

High spring travel (deflection) and therefore

high end loads at short mounting lengths

Block resistance

Precise tolerances

High quality corrosion protection by

phosphating and epoxy coating

Individual protective packaging

Easy identification (imprinted with Part no.

indicates spring rate and physical dimensions)

Every suspension tuning is a compromise. On one

hand the spring system should be soft enough to

compensate for bumpy roads. This compliance assures

permanent roadcontact of wheel and tire and

therefore guarantees grip and traction. On the other

hand the spring system must be firm enough to

reduce body roll, squat and dive of the vehicle’s

body during cornering, acceleration and braking.

These contrary demands can be solved best with

progressive spring characteristics. Here Eibach has

developed the worldfamous ERS double springsystem.

With the ERS system many different main & tender

springs can be combined to achieve the specifically

required progressive characteristic. From a selection

of more than 700 different single spring components

the suspension engineer can create nearly unlimited

combinations. The ERS double spring system is

unsurpassed in performance and specific tuneability

in automotive motorsports worldwide.

turn to Eibach.

And, also inevitably, wonder why they didn’t chooseEibach in the first place.

The perfect solution to correct excessive nega

tive camber and prevent uneven tire wear

Wider range of camber adjustment –

suitable for street or track tuning

After the installation of either an Eibach ProKit,

Sportline spring kit or ProStreetS coilover kit, a vehicle’s alignment should always be checked. Once a

vehicle is lowered, wheel camber may become exces

sively negative, meaning the top of the tire is angled

inward (toward the center of the vehicle). While some

negative camber aids in improving traction and road

adhesion, too much can result in compromised handling

and accelerated tire wear.

Eibach offers a complete range of ProAlignment

kits, which provide a simple, affordable solution to

correct excessive negative camber. These alignment

kits not only assist in adjusting a vehicle’s camberback to factory specifications, but they also allow

an experienced chassis tuner to utilize the increased

adjustment range to “dialin” a performanceoriented

alignment that uses negative camber to maximize a

chassis’ true potential. With correct alignment, turn

in becomes more precise and handling becomes

gratifyingly crisp and predictable. Highspeed stability

is also enhanced, making an Eibach ProAlignment

kit a necessity for the serious performance tuner.

Performance Control ArmsEibach Performance Control arms are designed to

allow wider wheel and tire combinations and solve

tirerubbing problems when teamed up with our

front and rear ProAlignment camber kits and toe

adjusters. Available for most popular applications.

ATTENTION!

Please note that there are no TÜV homologations for

ProAlignment available yet! Sales, service and technical

advice will only be offered through Eibach UK.
