Eibach springs
parts certificate
Designed and assembled in the EULowering your car can improve looks, handling and road grip. But many drivers face the key question: lowering springs or a coilover suspension right away? MTS Technik offers both solutions – each with different benefits. This guide helps you make the right choice.
What are lowering springs?
Lowering springs replace your vehicle’s factory springs and reduce the ride height by a fixed amount. They are installed together with OEM shock absorbers or sports shock absorbers.
MTS Technik lowering springs are a cost-effective way to improve the car’s stance and lower the center of gravity.
You can find an overview here: MTS Technik lowering springs.
What is a coilover suspension?
A coilover suspension combines shocks and springs in one system and also offers continuous height adjustment. The lowering can be set individually – within the approved range.
MTS Technik coilovers are available in different setups such as Street, Comfort and Stance.
All versions are available here: MTS Technik coilovers.
Lowering springs vs coilovers – the differences
- Lowering: fixed with springs, adjustable with coilovers
- Flexibility: coilovers are much more versatile
- Price: lowering springs are cheaper
- Comfort: depends on shock setup
- Look: coilovers offer more room for fine-tuning
When are lowering springs the right choice?
Lowering springs are ideal for drivers who want a subtle drop at an affordable price. A key requirement is that the OEM shock absorbers are still in good condition.
Alternatively, lowering springs can be paired perfectly with MTS Technik sports shock absorbers to improve durability and handling.
When do coilovers make more sense?
Coilovers are the better option if you want maximum flexibility. Ride height can be adjusted – for daily driving, show use or different wheel/tyre setups.
MTS Technik coilovers with stainless steel threaded bodies (Inox) are especially popular for year-round use.
Durability, maintenance & spare parts
No matter which solution you choose, regular maintenance is key for long service life. Spare and wear parts are available here: MTS Technik spare parts.
