Installed my Vogtland Springs

I bought a set of 1.2" drop springs by Vogtland from J and M products ouf ot the vendor index here on CZ28. I really like the stance. The rear dropped almost an inch, but the front went down about and inch and a half. I put all new shocks in at the same time. I can get pics if anyone wants to see what it looks like. Also, the car does not ride as hard, but I can tell the ride is bouncier from the springs. I am very pleased.

Re: Installed my Vogtland Springs

Bounce = not enough rebound dampening in your shocks for the added spring rate.

Which shocks did you get?

Re: Installed my Vogtland Springs

I just bought a set of koni agx 5 way adjustable shocks for my 95 Z.Will those springs work well with these shocks?

Re: Installed my Vogtland Springs

Koni doesn't make the crappy AGX, thats KYB.
The answer to your question would be no. Those springs will own your AGX's.

Re: Installed my Vogtland Springs

I got these really cheap.Is there a better ones that you could recommend.I didn't pay that much for them and I can get rid of them quick.Would the SLP Bilstiens be a good choice to go with these springs?

Re: Installed my Vogtland Springs

I will try to get pics asap. Haha i used Autozone shocks. They are a lot better than I thought they would be. The ride isnt bad at all for "Gabriel Ultras." I do need to stiffen up the back though because when I get on it hard the back is to soft and the car pulls way back and doesn't take off as good.

Those are the regular Bilstein HDs; Tbryne doesn't revalve them. You want something that can dampen your springs properly, and Bilstein HDs are made for stock springs.

Bouncier doesn't constitute better IMO.

Re: Installed my Vogtland Springs

They're valved specifically for the Eibiotch springs that come with the SLP kit. Call Sam and get some valved for YOUR springs.
