    Vogtland springs and Bilstein shocks

    I am doing a s50 swap and as soon as we get the finish getting the engine hooked up I need to swap the suspension. It's been bad lately. I have already purchased bilstein sport shocks. I want to lower the thing and was looking at some vogtland springs because someone recommended them. I just need some reassurance that it will look good, ride well for sporty everyday driving, and won't kick my ass trying to figure out how to do the suspension.

    i have them paired with Bilstein HDs and they look great and ride decent enough however because of the lack of suspension travel (HDs), i find my ride to be a bit bouncy on rough roads. When i replace my HDs with Sports, it should help matters alot. Go for it, best springs for stance and price.

      Do you have any pictures of your setup?

          Car in my sig is the same setup. Rides nice but are a little soft. Rear squats bad when I get on it. No spring pads/stock everything else.

            I have the same setup.. vogtland springs and bilstein shocks on my black e30 in my sig. But it looks like you have less wheel gap than me for some reason.
