Hi all,

anyone care to share some knowledge or preference on lowering springs for the Arteon.

Eibach or H&R

isn't much in it as far as pricing goes..

Do either company make a statement on whether the springs are compatible with factory dampers? (Just thinking about length of damper at full extension and whether the spring is tightly retained.)

They have confirmed that either set is compatible with the factory adaptive dampers... just looking at feed back on which option to go?

i can’t comment on specifics with this vehicle, but both are reputable brands and have used both in years gone by. I’ll be fitting eibach on my wife’s car - but that is mainly due to the excellent customer service and advice from a vendor here.

Seems that H&R isnt really applied to many VW's spoke to my locals and they're are all Eibach.. but can get the H&Rs if need be..

Hi all
I have just ordered a set of Eibach springs. Eibach Quick Code: E10-85-044-03-22
Lowering front and rear by 25mm which I think will sit the car nicely. Quite cheap I thought in the Uk £206.00. I am using a local tuning garage to me in London who are fitting and carrying out 4 wheel alignment for £250.00.
Currently the springs are being delivered from Germany within 10 days, and I hope to get them fitted as soon as they come into the UK.

Update all, love it, was worried after ordering had I made the right decision, would it look better, am I wasting my time!
Looks so much better, VW should of set it this height at factory, it sits like the Audi now. Ride has not changed at all, DCC still works perfectly.
If you are wondering like me if you should do it yourself, please don’t, go for it!

Did you guys have an head light issues after lowering ? I read somewhere else after lowering they had to adjust there head lights to suite.

I had the dealer install mine. This is all they did

Hi, no issues at all, head lights are automatic, as above we had the 4 Wheel Alignment completed after the springs were changed due to the car sitting differently and that was included in the cost we had when changing them over.

Can you post some pics of how it sits now?, also have you had some hard scrub outs on the front bumper? some driveways ive been up scrub so im a little hesitant to lower further.

Thank you for a great post and the feedback!

Please can you let me know if you have carried out the DCC calibration using OBDeleven? On some forums people are saying this makes a real difference?

I have just ordered H&R Lowering Springs and also VAGSport 12mm front spacers and 15mm rear spacers.

Would appreciate your advice.

i've recently done (last week) the DCC re-calibration on my Superb and its made a nice difference.
my Superb is lowered 25mm on Eibach ProKit springs.
i've had the car lowered for more than a year now. wish i'd done this much much earlier.

The car is less crashy. Previously with the lowered springs, the DCC shocks were not ideally matched, and hence it would crash/bottom-out on speed humps or dips, especially in Normal or Comfort modes.

After re-calibrating, the DCC shocks r better behaved with the shorter springs.

I don't have to put the car in Sport setting for Suspension, anymore.

Really happy with it. i highly recommend to perform the DCC re-calibration.

I've gone ahead and ordered a set of Eibach Pro Kit Springs: E10-85-044-03-22

Looking into replacing/upgrading/lubricating some other minor parts during installation. Probably things like strut mounts + bearings. Any recommendations?

I have H&R springs in mine, everything works as it should looks great although I would have liked it a little lower. If you have 3k to 4k get yourself a set of coil overs.
