Suspension Comparison: Neuspeed Sport Springs –v- Eibach ProKit springs
The aim:
This test involves putting too very similar suspension packages through their pace back to back on real Australian roadways.
In this case it’s the newly released Neuspeed ProCup Kit + Neuspeed Tubular (hollow) 25mm 3 way adjustable sway bars front and rear. The Neuspeed ProCup Kit consists of Neuspeed Sport springs and the American tuned Koni FSD dampers.
A second exactly the same vehicle has been fitted with Eibach ProKit Springs, Koni FSD dampers that are tuned for the Euro market + H&R solid 3 way adjustable anti roll bars (26mm front & 22mm rear).
The Neuspeed vehicle has its tubular sway bars set on soft front and rear. The Eibach ProKit vehicle has the H&R bars set on soft at front and hard at rear.
Both vehicles are MKV VW Golf GTI – 1 black and 1 white.
(1)Black GTI – Neuspeed
(2) White GTI – Eibach/H&R
The venue:
Sir Bertram Stevens Drive, Royal National Park – Toll both to toll both. In addition several up and down trips to Garie Beach Road to test each setup on exactly the same stretch of bitumen. Roadways consist of coarse & smooth bitumen, gradients uphill & downhill, with rough and airport runway smooth surfaces. There are a compilation of a few long straights with passing opportunities, sweepers, a myriad of tight 35-45-55kp/h rated corners. The idea is to use a roadway that replicates much of what every driver is likely to encounter in day to day driving conditions. Weather conditions for test were overcast and dry.
