Eu approved lowering springs

[Nicolas05]

Hi Guys,
My car should arrive @ the dealer in 2 weeks (in Zeebrugge now).
I'm looking for lowering the car a bit (2 to 3cm) but would like to do this the legal way (TUV).
Can somebody tell me wich springs are available in Europe, with EU approval for the ecoboost model?
Was looking for Eibach pro-kit for the ecoboost, but it seems they are still not approved? Is this correct?


Thanks

True!

First, eibach springs, don't import from the US! The springs of the ecoboost are disqualified by TUV. So they are making a new version. They invited me to test these and to go to the TUV for a new test for approval. (If anyone else want too go, let me know)

Secondly, K&W are launching it normally next month with all the papers you need.

Ps: also the vessel tarago for you?

My car should already be in Zeebrugge according to my dealer. ETA @ dealership March 5th...

Any risks involved with testing for Eibach?

Time and fuel. Don't know where the TUV office is in Germany

What's the story with that?

I might be wrong, but TUV approved springs, are not legal in Belgium.
You need a GOCA document. So far there's not one available.
To get around this mess over here, one can buy anything he wants, paint the new springs black and don't go lower than 1".
Keep your fingers crossed when going to the technical examination, once your car is 4 years old. Maybe you're lucky and they don't see it.
Anyway keep your original springs, you might need them again in the future.
On the other hand, you can drive your lowered car for the next 4 years to come.

No not exactly, to get approved for GOCA, they have to be approved by TUV first as a euro attest, after that the manufacturer can ask the papers at GOCA. (That was what is been told to me from the importer and Germany).

Secondly, the pro kit from eibach is already black ;)

Do you mean KW or H&R?

Spoke with them in real life, face to face. KW indeed, sorry. Will be about 250€

Just got confirmation from the KW offices, that KW springs 25mm are available for the ecoboost!

They probably haven't updated their site yet. At this point it only mentions the ST springs for the GT model.

KW (Belgium) only told me they where available but they don't sell them directly, and I will have to order them trough an official KW dealer.I asked my local tire shop if they could hook me up, and it was no problem. They could order them for me.
