    VOGTLAND Springs

    Anyone have any experience using these?

    Positive/Negative feedback is what I'm looking for.

    My very good friend is an authorized dealer of theirs so I'm really leaning towards buying from him.

    Thanks in advance.

        I have them on my 318is and like them a lot. Good drop and much stiffer than stock.

            I have them with billy sports, they were kinda bouncy with KYB's in the front. but pretty good with Bilstiens. could be stiffer but depends what your using your car for.

            A quote from another thread.......

            "A bit stiffer than h&R Sports i remember. They also lower more.

            Stock M3 -> 140/250 (others say 100,300?)
            Dinan Sport -> 172/300
            H&R Race -> 315/570
            H&R Sport -> 185/380
            H&R Sport -> 200/285 (29664)
            Eibach Pro-kit -> 102/277
            Eibach Race -> 160/445
            Vogtland: 225/360
            Ireland Stage 3 -> 315/570"

              I'm having trouble finding a place to order my shocks from, anyone recommend someplace good and user friendly?

                I love mine, hands down my favorite springs for e30's, wouldn't trade them for anything but a good coilover setup for an e30 that sees street use.

                Are you looking for bilstein sports or what?

                  I think I'll just give the KYB's a try and see how I like them.

                        i have no complaints whatsoever. pretty much feels the same as before i lowered it, with a bit less body roll. although im not on kyb's, i have no idea what im on. PO replaced the shocks before i bought the car so i saw no need to change them. i rarely scrape on anything.

                            i have them with billies on my vert. (not pictured in my sig). i am happy with the ride for street use, but those kopi's rub the fender when i go around a corner. this is a temporary suspension setup for me as i have a full set of m3 body panels that are going on the car soon and a complete mz3 5 lug swap.

                              I have them. Fine for street use, but the car needs stiffer springs for track and AutoX duty. I think I'm going to H&R Race next.

                              Does anybody want to trade?
