    Eibach Ford Focus RS impresses with cool tuning pack and a lot of horsepower

    Eibach has achieved something that even the WRC team hasn’t. We are talking about their latest project, involving the Focus RS. Its 2.3 litre Eco-Boost four-cylinder engine is now capable of 350 HP (257 kW), as the number plate on the vehicle highlights. In other words, this hot compact car has even more horses than the equivalent WRC rally car.

    After the team at Eibach ensured that the horsepower is enough, it then focused on the cornering capability of this Ford, thus enhancing further its performance. Precisely, the tuners fitted Pro-Kit Performance Springs, bringing the Focus RS 20 millimetres closer to the ground. Next to the improved optics, the springs also reduce diving when braking as well as the rolling tendency of the body when cornering is happening.

    The next step is the installation of the in-house made aluminum Pro-Spacer Wheel Spacers, ensuring there is more stable tracking as well as a masterful appearance. Eibach Anti-Roll-Kit rounds out the suspension package, while the Performance Stabilizer Bars reduce rolling and pitching during cornering.

    There are exactly four engines in the range of our favorite mini, with an output ranging from 75 hp to 115 hp. With sporting chassis and untamable character, this car was just destined to feel the magic of the tuning world.

    Eibach decided to make two things for the Mazda2. The first was to give it new Pro-Kit performance springs, and the second – to add pro-spacers. Starting with the springs, they improve the centre of gravity of the vehicle, by lowering it. This also provides more fun on the road and at the same time improves car’s energetic character.

    On the other hand, the Pro-Spacer wheel spacers are made of aluminum and make perfect company to the springs. They also complete the Mazda2’s look and handling.
