The Option of Vogtland Springs Examined
Many different brands of springs have been tested and they all have their own characteristics that make them unique. The main benefit about the Vogtland springs that makes them stand out is that the ride comfort of daily driving is not compromised. With Vogtland's springs installed, cruising down the road at 80mph the car was as stable as before with no bouncing, or stiff jolts sometimes associated with lowering springs. Vogtland springs also dropped 7 pounds of the unsprung weight off the car.
The price of the Vogtland springs is a little higher than other brands, but in the long run, it will be worth it to spend the extra cash to get a good riding spring. You want to make sure your driving experience is as pleasurable as possible. It's hard to determine what brand of springs to purchase in this huge aftermarket world, Vogtland springs are a solid choice.
As for ride quality, Vogtland springs have an unexpected smooth feel. The ride is not harsh and uncomfortable during daily trips to work or the grocery store. There is no harsh or stiff jolts when crossing over light bumps and road changes. The Vogtland springs provide a ride that is much better than predicted. After further driving with the Vogtland springs, the ride quality was a little stiffer, but 95 percent of driving is on open roads with minor potholes and road changes so really you won't even notice the Vogtland springs being lowered while driving. You actually might forget you have the car lowered.
Handling with the Vogtland springs improved 100 percent over the old stock springs that tend to lean greatly going hard into a corner. This reduces your overall grip on the road and ability to take the turn at higher speeds. After the Vogtland springs are installed, in the same curves, the car stays much more flat and accelerates more smoothly out of the turn without the body roll. There are a lot of suspension upgrades to go even further with handling improvements, but a simple change with Vogtland springs is a great first start in that direction.
