I thought the Votlands dropped the car 1.2" all way around? Can anyone compare these to the Tein S-techs as far as comfort and handeling paired w/ koni adjustables?

Teins seem to ride very bad compared to the other brands, due to the spring rates being much lower than the others

That's what I was thinking too...don't get me wrong I love the drop that the tein's have given me but the ride is pretty harsh even w/ the koni's set at almost full softness. Maybe Vogtland is the way to go for non-track setups.

Anyone running the Votglands/Koni adjustables that can post up some good side view pictures?

I was thinking Kw2s but have heard great things about this Votgland/Koni setup..

I just want to be sure the front end isn't sitting to high for my liking.... I have heard a few people comment on the rake effect...

thanks, Ken

The front does not sit high at all, if that would have been the case I would have taken them off the same day for sure. it's an even drop all around. Eibachs do tend to lower the car more in the back and less of a drop on the front.

Thanks for the pics and info!

I think I'm either going to go with the Votgland sport springs with Konis or Dinan suspension (dinan spring/konis)... I think the Votglands will sit a bit lower and look better but the dinan may ride just a tad better.. not sure though.

Thanks again, Ken

Nope, 1" all around with the Vogtlands.

When I was looking into Vogts they said 1.2" drop for coupe and 1.7" for vert.

I bought them off eBay for $181 + $29 shipping. They were drop shipped on behalf of the seller by Vogtland's CA facility.

I put them on yesterday along with 15/12mm spacers. Here's a pic. Shocks are still OEM. So a real cheap good-looking drop IMO.
