Kia is gaining momentum – at least that‘s what the name of the practical minivan Venga suggests, which prompts the driver with a „Come on!“ or „Go!“ when they get in. The small Korean car impresses thanks to the relatively generous amount of space on offer, amazing variability in the interior and its attractive design.

In addition the Kia Venga receives extra sporty temperament from the Eibach Pro-Kit Performance Springs. The comfort level is further optimised and the appearance of the Kia Venga also benefi ts from the lowered centre of gravity.

The Eibach Pro-Spacer Wheel Spacer also promote the sporty appearance of the car and as a result the Venga looks more dominant on the road.

All Eibach suspension components, which are available through authorised dealers, are provided with a high-quality corrosion protection and are TÜV-certified.

With the 5-series GT, BMW has interpreted the classic travel car according to the style and the demands of the 21st century: with this vehicle a spacious interior and a high degree of luxury meet a sporty design.

This impression does not deceive, as despite its dimensions the 5-series GT sets standards for agility and driving enjoyment particularly in connection with the Eibach Pro-Kit Performance Springs. Due to the lowering of the vehicle´s centre of gravity, visual dynamics are further improved without affecting comfort.

Additionally, in combination with the Eibach Pro-Spacer Wheel Spacer, the outline of the 5-series GT comes across wider, depending on the size of the wheel spacer.

All Eibach suspension components, which are available through authorised dealers, are provided with a high-quality corrosion protection and are TÜV-certified.

With the Chevrolet Camaro, a legend from the 60s and 70s comes back to life.
A long bonnet, an aggressive front section, a voluminous engine with 3.6 and 6.2 litres cubic capacity and the rear wheel drive characterise the US-American sports car.

With the KW coilover suspension Variant 3, the Camaro significantly gains performance and an amazing driving comfort. KW achieved the optimal suspension set-up for the Camaro on its in-house innovative 7-post driving dynamics test stand. (more…)
