Suspension: The outsider Vogtland..

[Quattro]

I haven't heard much talk about this suspension....who has it and what do you think of it? yes everything is subjective just thinking if I should get this as opposed to other suspensions on the market.

Get a set. You will not be dissapointed. The ride is great and the adjustment is a breeze.

[rayiish]

hows the stiffness? more like bilstein or more like koni?

[Louis J.]

I have Vogts and I'm extremely happy with them. Coming from PSS9s and Bilstein HD shocks on other cars, the Vogts are a very nice setup for the A4. The ride is softer and more compliant than OE sport suspension and PSS9s on the softest setting but when pushed, they bite hard and make bodyroll nearly non-existent...and that's with the factory sways. A nice bonus is that IIRC Vogts are the only coil that can be height-adjusted on the car.

u finaly gonna drop your car Randy???about frickin time homes.....dont get me wrong, it's still gonna look like crap, it's just gonna be a lowered piece of crap lol j/k

[Quattro]

i know man, i gotta lower it...last mod for my car for awhile....well maybe =x

[Quattro]

on the side note, i am thinking of vogtlands umm....which ones do you have? GT or regular ones?

[Gondi Stylez]

I have the GTs on my B6 are they are sweet! They ride and feel great and allow for easy adjustability while on the car!

Call Tomaz as Startup Racing and get hooked up. Even if you want try and start a GB?! I'm sure there would be lots of interest.

wrong. my bilstein's can be height adjusted without even taking the wheels off.

[evilgabbie]

how do you adjust witout the wheels off ? front and back ?

[supamannn99]

just reach in.

[Audini]

Vogtlands and H-Sport = rail car on steroids! And they are adjustable C/O you will grin ear to ear on the twisties. Yessir, this is on a 4.2 and l am McLuvin ithttp://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg112/audini/1092SCO022-1.jpg

I feel like they're the best suspension setup in that sub~$1200 category. They are a bit firmer than Stasis/Koni and much easier to adjust.

If you're looking for a nice set of coilovers that allow you to adjust your ride height, and you'll be using them for street use the Vogtlands are a great choice. I had them on my B7 and found them to be too soft for me.

I removed them and went with the Stasis SLs which was a major improvement.

Just for comparison's sake, the Vogtlands have spring rates of 575 front/600 rear. The Stasis SL's for the A4 have spring rates of 600 front/1000 rear. Stasis is swapping out my 600/1000 springs for 700/1100 springs.

BTW, I have the Vogtlands in a box in my garage if anyone's interested...

[Quattro]

^^hmmm, i think its very different to compare vogtlands with stasis SLs haha.....
what setting did you have the vogtlands on for them to be soft? I have heard otherwise....

thanks for your feedback

You're right...Vogts and PSS9s then...[:D]

Quattro: Don't forget that this is very subjective. Just because someone is used to a firm ride and that's what they like doesn't mean that Vogts are soft or mushy. Coming from sports cars that ride very firm, I think Vogts provide a good solution for a street car that gets driven spiritedly or gets put on the track from time to time. If you're going to put the car on the track often, you will want something with higher spring rates like John's setup.
