Default Time difference in Belgium..need Gert

Does anyone know the time difference between the US and Belgium ?

I am emailing Gert at Carnewal regarding an issue?problem with the Euro M030 Springs and Bilstein HD Shock install.

Evidently, the tech doing the install claims the rears are too long/tall for what he would call a perfect fit ??

Has anyone else ran into this concern ?

Thanks
Keith

Keith's question was about the rear shock that looks as it is too long for the spring.
Yes, that is normal.
The same happens, when you install lowering springs on std shocks or even Euro M030 springs on US M030 shocks.

Anyway, once the car on the floor there are no problems whatsoever.

We paid extra attention to this subject in the DIY that comes with the Bilstein HD's .

Keith,
So what is your solution? Don't some people recommend wiring the spring to the top of the strut to hold it in place?

Eric..

Yes..that is exactly what the tech did. He used hard plastic tie wraps
to secure.

I'll have more to say about this install and will post before and after pics soon !!
