Of all motorsports, Drifting is the only competition where ‘artistic impression’ counts towards the end result. Consequently, it’s imperative that the driver stays in absolute control and, to do that when travelling sideways at high speed, means they have to be fully aware of what the car is doing at all times. https://superpro.shop/news.read.cfm?articleid=42 superpro-news-42 info@superproeurope.com (SuperPro Shop) Thu, 14 Dec 2017 10:03:50 GMT Product News If you’re the owner of a classic 4x4 that has perhaps seen better days, then it’s worth downloading and reading this technical feature that was published in Land Rover World in 2013.

There are two main ways to increase ride height on pick-up trucks: fitting a full-suspension lift kit which usually consists of complete replacement suspension parts including dampers, springs, leaf springs etc, or, by fitting a spacer-style lift kit which makes use of the existing suspension components. https://superpro.shop/news.read.cfm?articleid=39 superpro-news-39 info@superproeurope.com (SuperPro Shop) Tue, 14 Nov 2017 13:43:55 GMT Product News Over the past few years, SuperPro and its products have regularly been seen in tuning, 4x4, motoring and aftermarket magazines in the UK.

In some high-performance applications with increased engine output, or on more standard cars with worn original bushings, this movement can be excessive. https://superpro.shop/news.read.cfm?articleid=33 superpro-news-33 info@superproeurope.com (SuperPro Shop) Mon, 14 Aug 2017 11:08:28 GMT Product News From the day we launched our front control arm bush kits (also known as the front wishbone) for VW’s highly successful T5 Transporter, they proved extremely popular and have continued to be a much-requested item. With many of these vehicles covering high mileages and often carrying weight, bush wear is a real issue and replacing the rubber bushes with SuperPro items ensures they will last much longer between replacements – a factor that reduces the level of maintenance which in turn, keeps the vehicle on the road for longer. https://superpro.shop/news.read.cfm?articleid=32 superpro-news-32 info@superproeurope.com (SuperPro Shop) Tue, 01 Aug 2017 15:51:10 GMT Product News World-renowned suspension experts, SuperPro, have just released yet another solution to a universal issue across BMW’s E36 platform.

It has proved without question that SuperPro components stay in grade far longer than standard parts and do so successfully in some of the most demanding and technically challenging conditions – even during the heat of competition. https://superpro.shop/news.read.cfm?articleid=28 superpro-news-28 info@superproeurope.com (SuperPro Shop) Fri, 02 Jun 2017 11:52:36 GMT General News Over recent years it has become apparent that the standard rubber bushes fitted at the rear of the front control arms on VAG models that are based on VW Polo 9N, Golf MkV and Golf MkVI chassis’, quickly become weak and start to deteriorate. This is due to the bush being mounted vertically and, as the suspension moves up and down, the rubber is designed to twist. https://superpro.shop/news.read.cfm?articleid=26 superpro-news-26 info@superproeurope.com (SuperPro Shop) Thu, 01 Jun 2017 16:17:19 GMT Product News Anyone that has put wheels back on a vehicle with wheel bolts, particularly ones with heavy wheels or chunky tyres, knows how much of a juggling act this can be.
