For many decades, the role of Eibach Porsche parts and suspension springs in motorsport had been overshadowed by the complex nature of the damper (shock absorber) when in fact; the entire suspension system is focused around the duty of the spring. The responsibility of the spring is two-fold. It dictates the height of the vehicle, thus affecting the CoG (Center of Gravity) and roll dynamics. It also controls the speed and distance the wheel travels over the driving surface, which translates to vehicle control and mechanical grip. In early motorsport, a single linear rate spring was used as the solution to most suspension configurations. As technology progressed, the Eibach Porsche parts were introduced for the Porsche models to allow the compliance needed over rough road surfaces but also offer the roll resistance needed when cornering. Though the technology was a great step forward, it was still flawed. As a single spring, it didn’t allow engineers to tune the initial o...
