Hi
In Europe, if you want to change the suspension of your car, you need to have your car and new suspension shown to the local traffic department, and stamped in the car registration. Also - the suspension you choose to use must be TÜV certified - which means that it has been tested and certified for use with the specific model in question.
Most European suppliers of suspensionparts have this today, but USDM and JDM stuff never saw the use for getting TÜV certifications for their products. The use and requirement for TÜV certification of car eqipment has been pushed throughout the entire EU. Its in simplest terms a pain in the ass!
What I need to know is - which manufactors offer TÜV papers for their coilovers? I'm specificly looking for coillovers and suspensionparts for the Jazz.
Here you'll see a sample from Eibach: http://tinyurl.com/d9sfb
