Suzuki’s Kizashi may only have just been launched in the UK, but already Eibach has released a fully TUV-approved suspension upgrade for the latest AWD Japanese Sports Saloon. The car has a superb chassis, with switchable 2/4WD as standard equipment, making it the perfect recipient for a subtle visual drop with improved dynamics. Kizashi – which in Japanese means ‘A sign of great things to come’ – represents an exciting new direction for the company and has been developed as the flagship model in the Global Suzuki passenger car line-up.
In standard form the car is finely balanced and a brilliant drive, but for those looking to achieve the ultimate in pin-point handling, without upsetting the Suzuki’s superb road manners, Eibach have released a selection of chassis upgrades to endow the Kizashi with unparalleled handling. This is achieved without inducing harshness or spoiling the car’s balance.
The new Eibach Pro-Kit lowers the car by around 20mm and offers a drastically improved stance, better turn-in and lower centre of gravity for decisive direction changes. Working in harmony with the standard dampers, the Pro-Kit rides at almost factory comfort levels, truly offering the best of both worlds. These are priced at £130.87+ VAT.

Pro-Kit ‘Dynamic Benefits’
· Lowered ride height, more sporty / aggressive appearance
· Lower centre of gravity, therefore less body roll during cornering
· Improved braking and accelerating, due to reduced weight transfer between axles (nose diving under braking and squatting under acceleration) – maintaining tyre contact load
· Improved cornering grip and steering feel
· Ride comfort preserved whist still improving the vehicle handling (progressively wound)
Pro-Kit ‘Quality benefits’
· Full TUV accreditation
· Industry leading tolerances on spring rate and dimensions
· Stress relieved, Pre-Set and shot peened – eliminating spring ‘sag’ and vastly improving fatigue life
· Industry leading corrosion protection – double layered phosphate and electrostatic epoxy powered coated
· Same high quality spring steel as used in Eibach’s F1 springs!
