    Vogtland Springs

    has anyone one here ever heard or used Vogtland Springs. they are really cheap, and i was wondering if i should sack up and buy some H&R's or Eibachs, or if these will provide the same performance.

              yeah ive heard a lot of good things about them, but i just wanted someones opinion that is running them. when you finish yours let me know how it rides. i have heard that for daily driving, ther are really good with konis or kyb's.

                a handful of ppl here run them, but there are hardly any reliable comparisons. do your own research:


                i just picked up a set, but since i've never own h&r, i couldn't help.

                    Vogtland makes the springs for tokico. I'm running that setup on my 325is and so far i'm pleased with it.

                          I got them on my car in my sig. I had them on my 85 for a little over a year with daily driving and have had no problems. Now they are on my 87. But the springs are comming off as soon as my other springs get here (Lowtec 60/50 drop) I never had any other cars that been lowered exept these 2 e30's that i have. The ride is not to harsh and not to soft.

                            I just put mine on on friday with the kyb shocks from the ebay combo, and so far i love them. They are a bit stiffer than the stock iS springs, but not harsh at all IMO.

                              could you snap a side view of your car on those. i'd love to see how much they dropped your car.

                              thanks.
