Suspension, Geometry & Setup
Appearance is one reason. Precision, traction and control are the others. We treat suspension, ride height, wheel alignment, damping and intended use as one complete system.
Suspension as a Complete System
Die Qualität eines Fahrwerks endet nicht beim Produkt. Entscheidend sind fachgerechter Einbau, saubere Geometrie, passende Calibrationen und eine Abstimmung, die zum Fahrzeug und Fahrer passt.
Suspension modifications can improve appearance, but above all they can transform the way a vehicle drives: less body roll, sharper turn-in, more traction and a clearer connection to the car. The right solution always depends on how the vehicle will actually be used.
Drivers who want their vehicle to feel lower, sportier and more direct do not necessarily need an extreme setup. The key is a combination that brings comfort, everyday usability and vehicle dynamics together in the right balance.
For more demanding driving, damping, geometry, vehicle balance and tyres become significantly more important. A fitted suspension system only becomes a truly effective setup once it has been adjusted correctly.
We select the right solution based on the vehicle condition, desired lowering, driving profile and existing factory equipment.
A sensible solution when the main goal is improved appearance and the existing factory dampers are still in good technical condition. For older or worn dampers, we recommend a complete sports suspension system rather than springs alone.
Springs and matching dampers provide more controlled road behaviour and a well-balanced overall package. Ride height is fixed by design and cannot be adjusted individually.
Ein Coilover Suspension ermöglicht eine individuelle Einstellung der Ride Height innerhalb des vorgesehenen Verstellbereichs. Damit lassen sich Optik, Schwerpunkt und praktische Anforderungen besser aufeinander abstimmen.
Adjustable rebound and compression damping allow the damper characteristics to be tuned precisely. These systems are particularly suitable for serious road cars, track-focused builds and drivers with a clearly defined use case.
Anti-roll bars, bushes, control arms, strut braces and other components can improve steering precision, body control and feedback. What matters is that all components work together as a properly matched system.
Wheel spacers can improve appearance and vehicle stance. We check clearance, wheel coverage, suspension geometry and the combination with wheels, tyres and lowering.
Erst nach Vermessung, Einstellung und gegebenenfalls Calibration kann ein Fahrwerksumbau technisch sauber abgeschlossen werden.
Lowering changes toe, camber and other geometry values. We measure and adjust the vehicle precisely – not merely to bring the values into the green, but to suit the vehicle’s intended use.
With adjustable suspension, we can balance the load at each wheel precisely. A correct cross weight improves balance and provides more consistent turn-in in both directions.
Changes in ride height can alter the angles of cameras and radar sensors. Systems such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance must then be calibrated correctly.
Vehicles with adaptive damping or Magnetic Ride can often still be lowered. The key is correctly recalibrating the zero position so that the control system continues to function properly.
After installation and setup, we assess the driving behaviour, check all relevant fasteners and ensure that the result suits both the vehicle and its intended use.
Depending on the component and vehicle, we organise the required technical inspection by TÜV, DEKRA or GTÜ experts as part of the conversion process.
Performance-Setup
Stiffer is not automatically faster. Lower is not automatically better. A good setup takes damping, suspension travel, tyres, wheel alignment, corner weights and the actual driving profile into account. That is what creates confidence in the car.
We discuss the vehicle, its current specification, the desired appearance and intended use.
We recommend a solution that makes technical and financial sense for the vehicle.
Installation of the components, including inspection of relevant wear items.
With adjustable systems, the desired ride height is set within a sensible range.
Toe, camber and other values are measured and adjusted precisely.
Where required, we calibrate damper zero positions, cameras and radar systems.
We check function, driving behaviour and how all components work together.
Required inspections and approvals are integrated into the project process.
As an Eibach and KW dealer and installation centre, we can offer suitable solutions for many vehicle models – from subtle lowering to complete performance suspension systems.
Ja, wenn die Serienstoßdämpfer technisch in gutem Zustand sind und die gewünschte Tieferlegung zur Fahrzeugauslegung passt. Bei älteren oder verschlissenen Dämpfern ist ein komplettes Sports Suspension häufig die bessere Lösung.
Ja. Durch die veränderte Ride Height ändern sich geometrische Werte an den Achsen. Eine präzise Vermessung und Einstellung ist wichtig für Fahrverhalten, Reifenverschleiß und Sicherheit.
Bei vielen Fahrzeugen ist eine Tieferlegung mit den serienmäßigen elektronisch geregelten Dämpfern möglich. Wichtig ist eine fachgerechte Auswahl der Federn und die anschließende Calibration der Dämpfer-Nulllage.
Kameras und Radarsensoren arbeiten mit definierten Winkeln zur Fahrbahn. Nach einer Veränderung der Ride Height kann eine Neukalibrierung erforderlich sein, damit Abstandstempomat, Spurhalteassistent und weitere Systeme korrekt funktionieren.
With height-adjustable suspension, the loads at each wheel can be balanced precisely. A correct cross weight creates better balance and more consistent turn-in behaviour.
No. Too much damping or too little suspension travel can reduce traction and control. A good setup is not as stiff as possible; it is matched to the vehicle, tyres and intended use.
