View Full Version : Importing from USA

Hello,
I have my car lowered by some H&R springs but I NEED MORE!!! :D:D:D:naughty:
I've spent like 3 years looking for aftermerket parts available in Europe and I think there's nothing at all in suspension matters except for the H&R's and similar. So do you know any coilovers or big-drop springs which are distributed in Europe?
Otherwise I was thinking of importing from USA... Any ideas on how expensive could be to have a set of coilovers or at least some springs sent from the USA? I'm afraid it's soooo expensive...

You're right, I forgot about TTE. It's because when I asked at local dealers about TTE lowering springs they didn't care much and I didn't get a real answer to whether I could order TTE parts from them or not. All said they would call me back but they never did.
Anyway how much would it be to import some coilovers from USA? Any clues?

That's perfect Spanish. Congrats! :D
I will check again for TTE coilovers but also will consider importing. What coilovers would you recommend anyway? Teins? Ground Control? Other...? I love to be able to vary ride height from, say -40mm to -80mm or more.

Maybe 80 is too much. I have 40mm drop now with H&R and would like 60 or so.

No idea they were available. Any clues about their performance and drop?
