Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs - Corsa VXR

Now that the Corsa VXR Racing has the Bilstein B14s fitted we have for sale a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs suitable for the Corsa VXR / VXR Racing.
The springs have seen very little use (about 1500 miles) and are in pristine condition as can be seen from the photograph. 

The Eibach part numbers printed on the springs are:
- 116501502VA – Front
- 116501501HA – Rear
and the spring kit part number is 10-65-015-02-22.
This Eibach Pro kit lowers the car by 25-30mm and the spring rates have been developed for the standard Corsa VXR dampers. Installation is straightforward.
New, these springs cost £165 and we are asking £100 + £16.00 p/p so this is an excellent opportunity to grab a bargain.
These springs are currently also up for sale on e-bay so feel free to go there and make a bid!
We also have the standard Corsa VXR front and rear dampers for sale (again in excellent condition) taken off the Corsa VXR Racing which match with these springs perfectly. Contact us if you are interested in purchasing these springs or dampers or need any more information.

Bilstein B14 update - Corsa VXR Racing

So the Bilstein B14 PSS Coilover Suspension Kit for the Corsa VXR Racing has been fitted and the full fast road geometry setup completed. The Corsa VXR was already lowered with the Eibachs fitted but with the Bilsteins fitted we have lowered the car by about an extra 5mm to about 40mm. The ride is much improved, however, thanks to the Bilstein B14 shock absorbers which offer much firmer and positive ride control compared with the standard Corsa VXR shocks. The Corsa was set up with 1.5mm toe out on the front and zero toe at the rear. Photos of the Bilstein B14s installation as well as the fast road geometry setup can be viewed at the gallery page of our Corsa VXR Racing website.

Bilstein B14's - Corsa VXR Racing

At last the B14's have arrived from Bilstein. Fitting these will be the last major upgrade to be carried out on the Corsa VXR Racing. Bilstein B14 PSS Coilover Suspension Kits feature threaded body ride height adjustment, together with Eibach springs and offer the latest motorsport development for fast road use. A page on our VXR Racing website dedicated to the Bilstein B14's can be found here. The Bilstein's will be fitted by Thorney Motorsports who will carry out a full Fast Road Geometry setup to ensure the optimum settings are achieved and we take full advantage of the Bilstein race technology.

Corsa race car suspension

suspension set up on Corsa race car
Attention has turned to the suspension set up. Currently the Corsa race car is fitted with KW 2-Way Competition Suspension. The extra weight and slight relocation of the Astra VXR engine within the engine bay will probably mean the front springs will need changing to compensate. A range of different rated springs have been supplied by Eibach so once the Corsa SRI is up and running we will be able to play around with the suspension set up to achieve an optimum fast road/track day set up.
