It is this suspension I have

http://www.patec-fahrwerke.de/neu/data/1e.php3?lan=e

The info about the spring is
Helper spring from hight-strenght chrome silicon spring steel

I think this means that I can take the spring out.

Does anybody thinks something else?

thanks;)

I tried to get it but the disk to lower it is designed to fit with a normal diameter spring.

My spring has a diameter of 7 cm

no, it is because I have ordered the bat kit and will use 18" wheels.

I wanna fill the arches completely and I think it'll need to lower som 2cm more.;)

It's the auxiliary spring my man:lol:
Don't remove this spring, just measure the main spring and see if there's a shorter one, but if the car is lowered by 7,5 cm you shouldn't lower more the suspension...:!

I have a Patec suspension adjustable in height and stiffness.
The suspension is working with 2 springs.

Now my car is lowered 7,5 cm but I want to lower it some more.

Is it a good idea to remove the small spring of the suspension.
The highest I can get with 1 spring is 7,5 cm to 14cm.

Is it wise to remove 1 spring and did somebody else something like this.

Thanks;)
