Vogtland springs w/4 finger gap?

by **SolaraT** » Sun Mar 07, 2004 7:45 pm

Anyone that has Vogtland springs notice that the rear has a 4 finger gap while the front only has 2? The drop is 1.5" for both front and back. Is this normal for a new install of springs or is the front just lower because of the weight of the engine?
I also got Tokico shocks installed.
I'm going to hold off on pics till I get my rims and greddy exaust intalled.

I have the same suspension setup as you and I just checked mine, and I have a two finger gap in the front and the back, maybe a 3 finger in the back (barely). But the drop looks even if you just look at it from the side.

I have the same setup as you guys as well. However, somehow my front are higher than my back though.

4 finger gap?

well at least your front is lower... most ppl prefer that way for better take off... now you just gotta sumhow drop it a lil more but proportionally lol

Yeah I know people have the opposite lower in the back then the front but thats known with the ebach springs. I think its cause I still have stock 15s on. I'm going to pick up my 18" rims on thursday so we will see after that.

Well they first quoted me $225.00 but then they had to charge me an extra $70.00 (1hour labor) because they had to take the whole inner panels out to reach the rear struts. :roll:

They should know that if they are going to quote prices. So with that plus an alignment came out to be $365.00 total.

OMG... thats soo much for install. I paid $95 dollars flat for my coilover install. Then again, some stupid rice shop owner I asked wanted $500.00 not including alignment for it. He claimed that "Its a very hard and rare car to work on"
