Experience with Hartge lowering springs??

norwegian_viking · 06-12-2016, 09:29 AM

Hi folks!

Anyone lowered their F15 with Hartge springs in front and lowering links in rear?

I also considering Eibach-kit since I've heard the H&R is no good (except for looks).

I'm curious on this Hartge brand as well. I have heard that regardless of what type of lowering springs you buy, that alignment (specifically camber) is next to impossible to get to factory spec. I would love to hear some thoughts on this as well as it pertains to the Hartge springs.

Unfortunately, Hartge is not popular in the US or most of the area in the world anymore.

I can't find the right Eibach kit for 40e with adaptive M-suspension.

If I'm not wrong, I need springs in front and lowering links in the rear..

40e I would think to use the same spring as 35i.
Check your rear suspension whether you have spring or air suspension.

What does everyone recommend? Eibach? ACS?

Preference. If you want the minimum drop, 1", AC Schnitzer or Eibach is the way to go. But Eibach is not available in the US yet.
While H&R, you will go about 1.5" drop.

There is a vendor I was sent to for the Eibach, he ships from Europe and its about $350 USD?

I saw that also. And that is roughly half the price of ACS...
