    Default Vogtland springs... who has 'em?

    I was interested to know who has Vogtland springs on their E34 and how do they ride? Also what shocks are you using with the Vogtlands. I'm thinking of going with Vogtlands and Konis, but don't want too much of a bone rattling ride - TIA

    Peter does, I think. He also sells them.

    By all accounts, it's a freakin' good spring, man! One of these days, I'm going to try a set out and see how I like 'em.

    best, whit

    i'd had vogtland springs on my old 1989 525i M20. the car was ~1" lower then and still comfortable, comparable with the original M-Technic springs.

    Hmmm.... to OZ?

    I can't find a distributor in Australia.
    I've emailed Vogtland in Germany twice, the first time in English and the second in German to ask about where I could buy their product in Australia but no response.

    Pure Motor Sport seem to be their major distributor in the U.S. but their website states... "We do not accept international orders."

    $225.00 U.S. per set of four (not each... eeek!) about $310.00 AUD + shipping and I'd be prepared to wait for several weeks unless you want to pay top dollar to get 'em quick. If I can't find an alternative source I might be interested.

    Also looking at a set of Konis.
    They're almost 2 grand for a set here and about half that to bring them in from the U.S.

    USPS can deliver them there, I sent Big Kriss his windshild graphics for $3.50 us, said 3-5 days to get there. I'm sure the springs would be more cause of the weight but it might be worth looking into to have PML ship them over if you cant find a local distributer.

    Kai,
    What kind of shocks were you using with those Vogtlands?

    pmlmotorsports,
    You mention that you can use these vogtland springs with OE Boge shocks. (I might have asked you this before) Does that setup need any modification?
    Thanks

    (I'm currently doing some research in the different E34 suspension setups.)
