    Default Pics of springs install

    TurboMike and I put some vogtland springs on both our cars yesterday. Install went fairly smooth due to having access to lifts and full tools at Mike's shop and a nice thorough write-up by Lowell. Took about 3 hours per car.

    Mike's is the black '90 and mine is the white '92. Mine went down more than 2" in the front using the springs and 3mm upper pads.

    install pics.....

    Finished pics. Both cars are within an 1/8" of each other on front and rear bumper measurements.

    Either of you using Bilstein's with the Vogtland springs? I'd love to know how they match up.

    Both using stock shocks right now. I'm planning on some Koni's later probably, Mike is still looking at options.

    That looks great!. I might have to sell my eibachs and purchase those if I don't feel low enough after my wheel upgrade.

    You think the vogtland springs will work well with the boge shocks that came with the sachs kit?


    brodee. Do you have any closer/bigger pics of the front wheel gap- on yours.
