Coilover service and adjustment
by quote
We check the condition of suspension that is already fitted, adjust the ride height and do any suspension work needed.
Prices include VAT at 25.5%. The exact labour time depends on the car’s design, the condition of the mountings and the kit.
Choosing a spring kit
We do not currently sell lowering springs – bring your own kit. We are happy to help you choose the right kit and check compatibility before you order.
What we recommend
- quality Eibach and H&R kits
- a kit that is designed specifically for your car
- a kit with an approval certificate – without it, the modification inspection is not possible
What we need to choose
- the car’s registration number
- the registration certificate details if needed
- a photo of the manufacturer’s type plate – it shows the permitted axle loads
Where do I find the axle loads?
The type plate is usually in the door opening or on a body pillar, sometimes in the engine bay. There can be different spring kits for the same car model depending on the axle load, so the relevant rows are 1 and 2.
A clear photo of the whole type plate is usually enough for choosing – you do not have to work out the right kit yourself.

How lowering works
01
Choosing the kit
Send the registration number and a photo of the type plate – we check that the kit fits your car.
02
Fitting
The lowering springs or coilover kit are fitted. The work usually takes 4.5–5 hours.
03
Ride height adjustment
With coilovers, the ride height is adjusted to suit you within the limits of the kit.
04
Four-wheel alignment
The alignment is done at the final ride height, and you receive a measurement and adjustment report.
05
Modification inspection
You take the car to the inspection with the kit documents and our report.
Modification inspection
After fitting lowering springs or coilovers, the car must pass a modification inspection (muutoskatsastus). You need two things for the inspection.
Measurement and adjustment report – from usWe give you the wheel angle report after the four-wheel alignment.
Approval certificate – comes with the kitThe certificates and other documents come with the suspension kit – keep them. Always order the kit with a certificate: without it, the modification inspection is not possible.
Frequently asked questions
How much lower will the car be?
The actual lowering depends on the kit and the car’s original suspension. A figure given by the manufacturer, such as 30–40 mm, usually means the difference to the standard suspension. If the car already has a factory sports suspension, the difference to the current height may be smaller.
Why is a four-wheel alignment mandatory?
Changing the ride height affects the suspension geometry and wheel angles. The alignment is done once the suspension is fitted and the final ride height is set – and the report is needed for the modification inspection.
What about ride height sensors and headlight levelling?
If the car has ride height sensors, automatic headlight levelling or other height-related systems, their function or adjustment may require a separate check.
Is it worth replacing the top mounts and bearings at the same time?
If they are clearly worn, it is often worth it – much of the dismantling is done anyway. We tell you about their condition during the work.
