Just received the same news... had a quick visit at the dealer and indeed they exist at 142.14€ ex VAT in Belgium, unfortunately GT only. Of course Belgium is again more expensive as usual ...Very good news

Very good news is..... they exist! And they are cheaper than what Ford quoted @ €154.80
Good news is.... they are TuV approved and come with a certificate!
News is.... they dont come with the replacement dust guards or bump stops like the stand alone Eibach sets do
Bad news is.... they arent making or selling them (YET) for the EcoBoost. They are GT only.
That's the good news part as we need the TUV certificate, otherwise trouble may arise. I just hope they will become available for the 2.3L.The kit you buy from Ford is now effectively the 'EU' version, will only be available from Ford, has a TuV compliance certificate and does not need/come with the extra.
Keep us posted if you can Notes, thx man!That's the good news part as we need the TUV certificate, otherwise trouble may arise. I just hope they will become available for the 2.3L.
I ordered them yesterday and while getting back in the car the dealers warehouse tech came back out to mention he did some more research on them and had to cancel the order as they where 5.0 compatible only and didn't know if they will come for the 2.3L later on.
Maybe you know?
Thanks a lot for this informations.Very good news

Local hour rate here is between 60 - 80 € per hour.Ford quote 5hrs x whatever your local hourly rate is (NL approx €100 per hour).
So I'm going to a trusted guy I know who expects about 4hrs at €50 per hour!
Will try, just hope they come out for the EB! Other news is that I just contacted a buddy who works at Belgian car inspection and we don't need the TUV paper, just a mounting report and Goca validation report.Keep us posted if you can Notes, thx man!
The springs from the dealer have TuV papers. See my photos above.So if my dealer (as an authorized FR dealer/re-seller) installs these Eibach pro springs I wont pas the TUV/Goca check? Or you talking about the sport-line as well? thx
Yeah I saw that! Just the 2.3L version is needed... did Eibach or your installer mentioned this?The springs from the dealer have TuV papers. See my photos above.
You are welcomeThanks a lot!
The difference is most like due to the engine weight difference, interesting!
