I just installed the Vogtland springs. I liked the look of the JBA car so I went with the Vogtlands. They are supposed to lower 1.6 in the front and back, I was hoping they would lower it a little more than the Eibach Pros but I can't really tell a difference, although the back seems to sit lower than other pictures of cars with the Pro kit.

Has anyone else installed these? The bottom two coils in the front and the bottom 2-3 in the back seem to touch all the time, is this normal?

It is perfectly normal for the bottom coils to touch at normal ride height. The springs are designed to keep tension all the way through droop travel and that is required to achieve that. By doing this it will keep your springs from rattling around and potentially becoming unseated at full droop.

Now that you've had the Vogtlands for a while...

What's the verdict? Do you still like them? The car looks great at that height...

Yea, I still like them, the car settled a little more since that picture but I would like it to be a little lower. This height is probably perfect for daily driving though, I have only dragged the bottom once and that was at a car wash and I should have known I wouldn't make it over their bumps without scraping. Ride quality is basically stock, I give them a thumbs up.
